insensible resilience

I’m so perfectly perfect I have it all under control 

My anxiety is running rampant 

My death will be silent and slow 

How frigid to feel the breeze on my skin 

No matter the wind continues to blow 

I’m stubborn I persist I don’t stop going toe to toe 

My mind is reeling 

My heart remains unfeeling

I must stop it I continue to grit 

My fingers hurt from my theatrical shaping

My lips raw, trickling pomegranate seeds abating
