Poetry

Ink & Blood

My heart is bleeding

Putrid black ink

All over the pages

Which used to be

A pearly, plain white

Now marked with life

And glittered with stories

Revealing agony

Mixed with love

But lined with joy

And raging with passion

As my heart bleeds

Onto the papers

In pretty black ink

Only for my blood

To be taken by another

Who breathes in the paper

Eyes skimming it like meat

But my blood will last

I can only hope

That my blood will make

A lasting impact

About the Writers

Saanvi Tatipalli, Website Administrator & Features Editor

Saanvi Tatipalli (She/Her/Hers) is a Senior at South Forsyth High School excited for her 4th year at The Bird Feed. She is interested in creative and journalistic writing and loves digital art/design as well. As an avid creator, when she’s not honing in on her passions, she’s finding new ones to try out! Outside of being involved and leading several school clubs and nonprofit organizations, she enjoys learning more about technology and business. She looks forward to a great final year with The Bird Feed where she gets to help with the Features & Poetry sections while also maintaining the website layout. Her favorite thing about journalism (other than the amazing community in the class) is having the opportunity to write, edit and interview for articles on a variety of topics. She looks forward to continuing on that journey while working with new people this year! She’s always excited to meet new people so feel free to reach out to her.
