Bitterness

They say that your home
Is your sanctuary
Your only shelter

from the arctic outside

I rely on those quarters
My heart remains in that bitterness

Why would I wish to extinguish the only numbness that keeps me safe and sound?

My memoirs of mutilation
Gone

Instead
A feeling of calm serenity
washes over me

The world is spinning
But my mind congested
It’s rapid racing

Time has finally come to it’s halt

Feeling
My sensations surrender
To the malice of the world

Until

I comprehended
I carry my home

With me
Everyday

No amount of resentment
Could ever change that
