Ocean Thoughts
red oozing from every seam
of my shell
stinging
like a jellyfish
what is a body?
a home
mine or theirs?
a prison?
punished for
my flaws
the flaws i can’t change?
a clownfish
mind and body mirroring the
image of the striped, majestic, free
creature
if she’s a creature for her
beautiful imperfections
then why am i imprisoned?
trapped: enveloped in
Earths tentacles for mine?
a monster
