A pink, quivering mass curled into a ball

Mewling quietly, forlornly

Tender hands offer comfort

Wobbly steps and falls

Why walk when you can run?

Classes, careers, connections

Family and friends

Surrounded by love

Wrapped in warmth

Gently lulled to sleep

What can I say about myself?

A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a walking coffin
