I’m myopic most days
but know how to behave
I am here now
within my skins
friend
father
lover
my limits bother me most
my experience
my knowledge
my morals
my boundary’s my vision
I’m discomfited
by my comforts
uncomfortable in
the things I see
It would be
so simple
to take off my glasses
and breathe
to relax into
what I’ve
become
