perhaps I will live like this forever,
insatiable, never satisfied,
a bit Veruca Salt.
I am not my habits
although they are intrusive,
pernicious and aiding me
through letting go of something
larger: the need to be seen in every instant,
pet and validated,
but left long alone
also
and to be cleansed
unremittingly.
if there is a safe space,
it is here, in writing.
if there is a true amends,
it is change
but my lion is indebted.
when they ask what you are,
tell them humbled.
