1)
My tawny skin suffocates me

My lackluster lips ring
a looped rope around my neck


2)
Gloom crawls in like creeping vines
strangling my words

Twisting at my wrists and ankles

Suspending them in a purplish hue


3)
I lay contorted on
my cold bathroom floor

Seeking for solace in prescription
television eyes

Only to poke into old wounds
that have not yet healed and

I have only begun to ferment
all my tears into wine


4)
Plant seeds in my blue-green veins

For red blossoms to bloom
in my once-blood's place

How do you interpret this piece?
guilt, mostly; The person is looking at Him/her self in the mirror, and generally looking into their eyes and thinking about their lives. This is where the work becomes less clear - it seems that conjecture is the best ground to fully comprehend this work's overall message.

Was there real impact at any instance?
I felt like it was me who was feeling all that you had written in your work. And that is a very strong feeling honestly. I liked it.
