A Good Parasite Doesn't Hurt the Host
Folder:
Junior Year - College I complacently ate
The placenta on my plate
Sacrificed freedom for a cord
Until she won the war
Defense untouched
Protected so much
By the one that I fight
Flight; I am birthed
Kicking and screaming
From nine months of scheming
Nourished and flourished
Then ejection encouraged
I ate and I fed
Til my body and head
Swelled too large
And directed my outward charge
This was the doom
Of my first bedroom
All that I left behind
A couple of pounds and a relieved mind
