My body craves the familiar
Even though the familiar is extremely hurtful
The familiar took away my voice
The familiar forced me to mistrust myself
The familiar jailed my mind and told my body that I was free to do what I wanted
I tried to belong to myself
But my body and my mind cannot be separated if I want to move forward
The familiar didn’t think that I would ever have the strength
Now I have what is mine
And I don’t know what to do with myself
