been reduced

Just a sauce
No meal

I send a heart
Can't say how I feel

Wanting to do more than survive
Ripple anxiety
Unwanted patterns
This is life?

When do I ask for more
When will I be enough to deserve it
When will there be a space for me to flourish

Embalming desires
Burying what I was taught to dream
Weighing what is unreasonable
Is it too expectant after neglect
