when forever did not mean an eternity
be aware that I questioned life in its entirety.
i fixated on my flaws
and had it out with romance.
I became my true self
unreliable, hungry, and flammable.
this is my transcendental prelude,
a reminder to those who may have forgotten.
I am strong, deep, and unwavering.
I may not easily bend to changes,
or adherent to surprises.
I sleep on the same side of the bed every night,
and I stick to my daily rituals.
Fixated and reliable instincts,
I am tied to this world,
all on the strength of emotional stimulation.
