Tourist in your body.

What does it mean to be a tourist
in your own body, in a vessel
designed to be a home.

I want to do more than
explore my scars;
I want to smooth over the
memories that carved them.

I want to replace the sadness,
fill the loneliness,
heal the inner child that's still
developing inside.

I feel like I'm constantly visiting,
writing notes on how I can make
the most out of each trip,

but I have so far to go.

I want my body to be more
than a thrill landing in
disappointment.

I want to stop circling around
what I know won't change,
and start looking for acceptance.
