Pretty privilege took me, undiagnosed~
It chewed on my ideas of people’s efforts.
It distracted me with its sweetness, nearly deadly.
I had cavities and didn’t know.
It chomped down on my sense of self, when I learned about how spicy I truly am.

I’m still trying to learn to swallow peppers,
and truly enjoy it.
It took some time, but I come to realize;
there’s a reason peppers burn,
and the acquired taste for it out there.
Everyone likes the sweetness in the world.

From a girl who always refused the peppers,
who now refuses the milk.

Afflictions companion,

Devotions pyrrhic,

Mislaying triumph,

Demised surrender.

Vulnerability hasn’t been indicated but distinguished,

Identification and acknowledgment advance readily,

Euphoria with an impregnable enchantment escorted,

Ambiguity as the outlet for this unceasing exuberance.

Breath taken by promising intimacy,

Enthused for supplementary fondness,

Conscious accord in this unknowing amalgamation,

Harmony as last continuance.
