Antiquated Embryo

See me in the distant corner.
Imagine a dark room.
I’m in the fetal position.
I’m curled up in a ball.
Though, the lights are on…
You see…my legs a drag,
I boiled my hand, I strained
my hip. I’ll take one last stand.

Seems we all can be that embryo, age doesn't change us all that much inside, our pains, our falls... hugs, dear Kim. <3
