“Haywire Defense Mechanism”
Habitual ritual of enticing the perception of what might happen
when all that exists is the thing in front of my line of sight.
I've never been great at receiving presents,
tense with apprehension,
because the wrapping around my bones aches
when I am left to the whims of the moment,
surrounded by others who bear their own hidden mysteries.
A lack of control gives way to the expectancy of danger,
though my mind says otherwise,
it eventually concedes to the intensity
of what my body recognizes as horror.
