It is a passed down trait; An inherent gene. You are weak. Every square foot of her body teaches her. Nature has taught her physiological function is equal to psychological conditioning. The most complex ***** in her body disciplines her into fear. Her fear manifests into her hands, trembling with insecurity. Her unwavering quivering builds into her shoulders. Her shoulders hold tension, thus affecting her posture. Her appearance renders her vulnerable and the holy place between her legs becomes saturated with pain. Whether by false hand, or natural purpose, pain becomes her. This lesson alone teaches her feet the importance of urgency. A tool meant for grounding quickly learns to run. Urgency seeks comfort, a comfort found in an ache. Relief is found across her skin. Her guilt travels from her arms into her stomach. A sinking feeling, heavy and haunting. Her guilt transgresses into anger, her heart circulates blood and rage. Her shame finds a home along her thighs; a place she will keep hidden. Secrecy desperately looks for security in which is born in her own embrace. Safety is found when she wraps her arms around herself returning back again to the familiar position she was created in. Safety in the womb, safety in the fetal position. Her cycle repeats in rapid succession, never slowing, forever spinning. This is habituation. This is her burden. This is what her body has taught her.

What My Body Has Taught Me
