Effortless devotion
had grit behind
that split my mind
dealt shit with grind
I quit to find
CALM
Externals—nah
Inner-turn-alls splay
Signal wires crossed
predestination sway
to self-care devotee
Placed myself first
Made myself free
Held tender-sweet affections
showered them over me

Snapping my fingers at this one—smooth, raw, and dripping with self-liberation. That last line? A mic-drop moment!
