anaphoric poem

             I remember back when I was a child

             Half the things I did revolved around anime

             What I watched, what my computer screen had on it,

             Even what my backpack was!

             You could even say it saved me.

             I was being engulfed by my siblings’ shadows,

             And when it was almost completely done,

             Anime became everything.

             I didn’t need my mother’s full attention anymore

             All I needed was the safety of my TV.
