sometimes, I feel at peace looking back
like our relationship served its purpose
and sometimes, I feel utterly disquieted
like that purpose was to haunt me

Misfit
“You are only free when you realize you belong no place—you belong every place—no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.”-Maya Angelou

Dear sister:
When you feel the discomfort
of not fitting in somewhere,
rejoice!
It means you have a shape.
Equations
Listen, sister:
If he doesn’t like you back,
that’s an “A ≠ B,”
not an “A < B.”
You didn’t belong there,
but that doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough
(written 3/6/22)
Tastes
If someone doesn’t like you,
that speaks to their tastes,
not your worth.
I repeat:
If someone doesn’t like you,
that speaks to their tastes,
not your worth.
