at thirty years old.
Inconsistency
is a way of saying
words that matter
that never mattered
to them, but it
mattered to me.
Reservations eaten
as Sunday brunch
beginning the continuation

in the back of my mouth
whispered wisdom
that just because
words aren't said
doesn't mean

Sarah Bellum Mental focuses her poetry on blended families and what the word family means to someone that fought for everything she's gotten. She also covers topics of self-harm, molestation, rape, consent, just to name a few. She looks to give a voice to those too scared to speak of what they've been through. To provide light in the darkness of living life at times.
