Rylee Henry
I’ve got a couple personalities
A lust for love
A craving for casualty
Sunken into myself
Dreams bleed into reality
Cattle and swine
Marked forever with heat
Pale and pretty
My rotting smells sweet
Fragile and skinny
All bones, no meat
No purpose
The broken are of better service
Witness my willful debasement
Peeled off tear-stained pavement
Determined and deliberate degradation
No hope for exaltation
No purpose
The broken are of better service
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.
