Thank you for your comments. This is the first poem I've written in my adult life and am ready for feedback. I made some edits based on your comments and my own processing of what I wrote. Here is version two:
consume

my eyeballs eat the words off pages / screens / everything

my ears hear your silence louder than your words (you still slay me with
those)

my mouth opens wide to judge the entrances and exits

my skin soaks up sunlight while bearing scars of this life

create

it is all in my mind

the blank page screams to be filled and my stomach clenches

you are not good enough / you wasted your time

destroy

smash me into pieces so I can pick them up

throw away the outliers and the assholes

remake

become whole again, repeat.
