encapsulated, solely in myself
i called it self care
fainting in the spotlight,
pulling my own teeth in your vision
and maybe i needed that
maybe i liked it
i probably still do.
there is no way to disentangle
the grin ribboning its way into my frame
as it was infrequently dishonest
i savor when firing towards myself
yet the impact flirts with you
a unification of intentness
i am the necessary cupidity
intertwining with your poultry
i am the absolution thinning the air
and i forgive you, but
are you truly honest about me?
