Member-only story
Don’t Pick
Prose from SHS.
You need to let it go.
Even if it’s still there,
don’t touch it.
It’s not yours to touch;
not even something you want to touch.
It still being there,
doesn’t change that.
Don’t pick.
Don’t poke.
Don’t pry.
That’s one more scar
you don’t need.
Thanks for reading! If you like my style of prose, please make sure you follow the Bits & Bones publication, where I’ll be dropping short speculative non-fiction Mondays and Wednesdays!
This excerpt is one of many that I’ll be posting to Medium from the collection Strangling Heartstrings (a memoir in prose).
If you’d like to get your hands on a copy (featuring more stories exclusive to the ebook) you can get it on Amazon or download it from my Patreon (Skull+ tier, along with many other creative goodies).
