Make a list of things you do for yourself

I struggle to escape the relenting pressure to fight for my life, or to take flight. The lofty notion of “doing things for myself” is an alien concept in my square-framed Universe. Longing to soften those razor edges and caress the smooth velvety curves, I’ve turned to the only outlet obtainable in my powerless position. I rearrange words on paper to unlock the cipher to my soul. It’s what I ‘do for myself.’

Naked sentences devoid of ego expressed on virgin paper. Seductive words painted with emotion that lead you to enlightenment is my primary outlet for fulfillment.
