This week’s poem is an acrostic written by Max Eati. Here is their explanation for the choice of starting letters: “I started with an observation of someone going through trauma. I listened inside until the word came to me. I also love sports, so I thought that's cool.”
Listening
True to my nature
I argued within
Mountains of shame
Burning me
Everlasting questions
Reminders of my words
Who can help journal
Other than my soul
Love can attract sin
Very important to speak
Every word on paper
So I release myself
