confined inside for a year or so
the thoughts allowed to flow
freely
until they pervade my room
and i see what is there,
i see me
i see what i always wanted to be
confined inside for a year or so
i slowly untangle the the threads that stretch
out
to all the people who made me this
which i am not
and will not be
to become what i’ve always been
confined inside for a year or so
i nurture what only i know –
then
reenter the world renewed again
do you see me, now at last?
i see me
finally –
