Member-only story

Someone will find me

1 min read1 hour ago

I write because

the pen is the only thing

that ever believed me

every page

a door I kicked open

every line

a bone set straight

someone will find me

in a library

in a stranger’s kitchen

or coffee table

on a night they are sure

no one has ever felt

what they feel

and they will read

the way I once did

with their whole

hungry chest

and for one small

brilliant moment

neither of us

will be alone.

I’m Devyn — a Precision Medicine Masters student from Canada, a survivor, an artist, and a storyteller. If these words meant something to you and you’d like to help me keep writing (and chip away at tuition), you can support mewith a donation or buy me a coffee. Every bit helps me keep telling these stories.

I’m also most active on my Substack — if you want more of my writing, that’s the best place to find me.
