step into my soul, but don't tread on my sanctity. gaze at the formations of mi miedo y fantasía like spires on a church tower calling the faithful to pray. i come crawling, patético to set myself back in my bonds & beg again for banality to replace the poisoned truth of who i know myself to be.
"otherness". something even i in all my privileged existence contend with and fail to conquer.
i am tired of cowering in my safe spaces (they've been unsafe for months anyways). this is who i am.
