What
This is...
morning gilded
in remorse
how can I wake unfettered?
My life was never my own
each day beckons
a loosening shackle
so I wear my fog
and go
toward a promise
toward myself
poking holes in my shell
letting light peak
in tapers like brilliant baby eyes
tiny and immeasurable
but this shell never cracks
I am a loathsome embryo
because I repair it
I willed it
so I maintain my prison
and no magic word
can break my will
no fear can match my own.
