Rylee Henry
Suffocated sweetly
Wrapped tightly, pulled and tugged
She smells of incense smoke
Or is it burning bugs?
Smoke spirals back and forth
Time veers from linear course
Does the stench make you sick?
Of burning, screaming heretic
Clear consciousness ceased to exist
Pain is cognitive catalyst
Vulgar display of depravity
Soot fills her every cavity
Rylee studies Biology at Cuyahoga Community College. Their mind has always created alliterations autonomously, and recently they started thinking of little rhymes in their head while hiking. Rylee found it to be a fun challenge to reframe thoughts(especially negative ones)into something, at the very least phonetically pleasing. They take on a lot of influence from metal music and gothic imagery. They have always struggled socially which has led to a pattern of self-isolation and paranoia. Gladly, they are finding a lot of strength to grow and express themselves recently.
