I slipped under the hot blanket of water Feeling enveloped, surrounded, consumed It felt dark and warm and I felt closed, safe But when I opened my eyes, I saw That I was under a false impression of security, And was just as naked and exposed as before.

Bath Water
I slipped under the hot blanket of water Feeling enveloped, surrounded, consumed It felt dark and warm and I felt closed, safe But when I opened my eyes, I saw That I was under a false impression of security, And was just as naked and exposed as before.
Don't take this as my needing to be shut off from society or people. It just feels nice to slip under a warm blanket sometimes. It feels safe.
