I won't touch flowers today 
Because apparently they wither.
I won't go near anyone, 
I won't touch that peacock feather.

I won't walk around the garden,
I won't play in water.
And just staying still will hurt,
Even that joyful laughter.

The space that I needed 
Any other day...
It is as if I've been abandoned,
I didn't want it this way.

And I hate how I said "I won't"
Not that "I can't" because 
It wasn't taught, but slowly poisoned
And it's stuck in my heart.
