I like womblike things
Lying beneath a pile of warm blankets
Swimming in a heated pool
Being enclosed by my safe mental walls
Being dependant
Not really living
I know there’s something
I’m awaiting a splash of light—
A “something” to define me
A beginning, an end
Something definite
Something real
I’m as perplexed as an infant
I didn’t ask to be born
But now
I finally have to live
