Becoming

I guess this is a part of me now

Something I'll have to grow around

Inosculation envelopes me and all of my worst traits

Which inflate in my altered states, until the two halves become whole

I'm not my mistakes, I'll define me by how I respond to them

I will try to take this in my stride and I will be better for it

When pain grows around you, you can grow around it too

Building my own private hell

Fixating on how you felt, and what you've been through

But what good does that do?
