Today I'm feeling fragile
I want to peel off my skin
and hide myself
fetal position
unseen
I want to cover myself
in armour
and run from my thoughts
I want to sink into
the sofa and become it
my insides roil
flutter to my throat
pull the covers
to my chin
swim in amniotic fluid
float out of my worries
