Curling Into Myself
A Poem
Do you ever feel like you are standing outside of yourself, looking back at your image and wondering who that is?
I want to hug myself to take the day away, but once I do that I know it won’t be enough
I want to curl into myself and hold my body tightly A part of a whole A whole of a part
Do you ever see yourself as you once were? A child roaming free A mind undistracted
I want to hug myself as a little kid and let him know that he is enough
I want to curl into myself and bury me inside of me A soul within a soul a body within a body
I just want to be small and hide from the world until I am forgotten Nobody’s memory
I’m curling into myself because there’s nowhere that I’d rather be than still a part of me
