Blood,
it fills our minds
as it leaves our bodies
unnaturally.

Hooded,
we deny
anything’s wrong,
scripted by fright,
we leave it alone.

Worried,
in a vomited skin,
afraid to let in
the possibility
of dying.

Blood,
stay within me,
beat my heart red,
I am alone.

Blood-scared.

Arresting and powerful, Erin, a terse and pointed write!

The first stanza is what grabs me and sets the tone of the poem. You could say this poem was written in the blood of your soul. After all, not all blood comes in liquid form.

ah, Erin... this has graphic impact on even the deepest parts... fear of dying is the one fear we can't conquer by simply meeting it 'head on'... and so it goes on, but muted.. you always manage to address a human issue with a unique vision of it... katy xox.

Erin, your poem touches deeply.

Hooded,
we deny
anything’s wrong,
scripted by fright,
we leave it alone.

Denial is only wishful thinking.

Perhaps I just don't like the subject matter, but I have to say that you've done much better.
