I long for touch
No, I long for the ability to touch
***
To feel the difference in
texture
temperature
air versus water
taste my food
***
But to my hopeless misery
I cannot
because I am
Invulnerable
***
I am
impossible to harm or damage
But that also means
that I can’t tell oatmeal from steak
The North Pole from the Tropics
Swimming or walking
Rock or soft fluffy grass
***
My invulnerability allows me to survive in battle
I wish to become vulnerable to live
***
Please, I beg you
have mercy on me.
Allow me to become vulnerable,
no matter the cost.
I want to feel pain,
something that hurts so many people,
I want.
***
Invulnerability to survive,
vulnerability to live.
