It was encrypted
A casualty that lingered
Perfecting an alignment
That created fear
To only let me be
A single organism
A cell
A home
A woman
A human being
Myself
Leaving an expectation
That never existed
Yet leading the proximity
To dwindle in breathing
And only comparing
And impacting who i am
And what i shall become
To restoring the warmth
And acquisitions of libido
And concentration
Olives cherries and
Strawberries
Pen paper and
Pencil
To transcribe arteries
Organs pulsing and forming
Calibrating my interactions
To be normal
No longer alienated
