i have placed my worth in very few hands
and today was a whipping
as he rests sweetly
extended one hand
I’m choking
and leaking
a bad robot a misplaced charm
and squeezing myself smaller
crack
into a new type
determined
less dependent
something toothed and growling
a scampering grown weary in my heart
an innocence skinned and left to dry in the sun
Worth places
