Laying here,
I watch these tags sway.
They hang from the bunk above me,
I am fixated.
They are my peace,
My mobile,
Calming me to sleep.
I feel these cold metal squares,
So close to my heart,
And I know that in them,
I have found more validation,
Then any ring you could buy.
These tags may separate me,
Make me a different person,
But I am happy with that choice,
With that commitment.
