Soft Body
My body is soft again
No longer hard and jagged
or piercing and jutting out
Bones enclosed by fat and flesh
⠀
My body is soft once more
It once was softer than this
A body of rolling hills
A safe place to be and live
⠀
My body had become sharp
Angular, a frame of spikes
Uncomfortable and feared
A home I ran away from
⠀
I am not comfortable
But I’m no longer unsafe
Failure of a skeleton
A nightmare of flesh and fat
⠀
I will be free of that dream
Of a skeletal escape
I will rest in my body
My pillowy and warm home
