I Wrote a Poem

               my constant companion

               hugs me

               a blanket that feels warm and safe

               wraps around me

               pulled in tighter and now

               bound

               suffocating

               wants me to think it’s protecting me

               but it has spun around me binding my arms and my voice

               can’t breathe

               start turning

               slowly

               the blanket begins to ease open

               spinning and my lungs expand

               arms out and now twirling

               there’s a sound

               quiet but it gets louder

               laughter
