Comfort is a weighted blanket,
Crushing my soul back into my body after a long day.
Subtle pressure, easing me to sleep.
*
Comfort is your arms around me,
I feel safe, supported, treasured, valued, loved,
My friends, my family, my love.
*
Comfort is an eager face looking up,
Showing me their latest accomplishment for my approval,
Here, my opinion is valued, validation.
*
Comfort is an animal in my lap,
Purring, rumbling, happy licks, squeaks, boundless,
The love of a pet is unconditional.
*
Comfort is my set daily routines
Stability in the things I have always done and will always do.
I function without thinking, without stress.
New challenge, new poem. Good to see that out fears about challenges being a thing of the past were baseless...

Great poem! I really love this part: Comfort is an animal in my lap, Purring, rumbling, happy licks, squeaks, boundless, The love of a pet is unconditional.
Yes, me too! Great job 👏
This was beautifully written, and I found myself identifying with and appreciating so many of the things you brought to light :) Great poetry!
Love it. As someone who is Autistic, the weighted blanket and love of a pet resonate so much with me.
This is beautiful
