today I noticed that I have never had to struggle against anything aside from myself.
if the man has held me down, I am unaware.
No one seriously abused me as a child
My parents are not addicted to meth
They are alive and kind, even
My country is not war torn
I have so much water available to me.

And yet and yet and yet and yet
I consistently behave in a manner
identical to someone with
post traumatic stress disorder
in social situations.

  1. Sometimes I tread the surface of social situations like I've never taken swimming lessons
    but then I remember
    I have friends.
