Sierra Loudermilk
Hi everybody! My name is Sierra Loudermilk. I'm a fourth year CLAS student double majoring in Women, Gender, and Sexuality and African American Studies hoping to pursue a career in non-profit work after graduation. When I'm not furiously sharing NPR articles on my Facebook or circulating ~premium~ intersectional content on Twitter, you can usually find me reading outside somewhere or curled up in bed with Netflix and friends. I love all things sweet (except chocolate), I have a baby seal tattooed on my ribcage, and I aspire to make fun of myself at least once a day.
an apology to my body

i stare at you in the mirror and
my fingers creep down your edges
what once were curved like
rolling hills on the skyline are now
flat like razed earth and hard in places
i hadn’t felt before
two empty bottles of Advil lying askew, another only a quarter full sits upright
an ice pack long gone warm slouches against a dirty mug
jesus christ, is praying still an option? i’ve been a devoutly faithless atheist for some time now,
but
i feel the end is nigh whenever i see the numbers “2019”
