Instinct


With #nofilter

I am a human

A contender of life

A mess of flesh and chemicals

Flowing constantly.

 

 

Only Certain

To follow instinct

Or change the instinct

To act as I desire.

 

Breaking a habit

Like snapping a twig

Constantly changing

Flowing, moving, breathing, changing.

 

I survive,

Not only survive,

Yet thrive

I am instinct.
