Hi! I'm reviewing this for "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.. I know this is a slam poem, but the formatting makes it a little difficult to read, especially as there are no line breaks between paragraphs. That said, I love this. I have borderline personality disorder myself, and this is a great look at the life of someone who has it. I especially love the line "Emotions sting like salt on a wound, except your whole body is wounded and the salt is coming from a snow blower." That perfectly encapsulates how it feels to deal with BPD, and people don't understand just how awful it actually is to live with.

I also really like the lines about how it's "so consuming that I shut down to the dullness of the world around me. I try to sharpen it with..." because that's so true. And I love the end, that you finally said 'help.' I hope that you found that help. *Heart* Great job!
