11/5/23

what if

i secretly miss the little nooks and crannies

i've lived in all on my own 

and made my own tiny marks in

what if 

i leave and don't come back to this tiny corner

that i've built infrastructure 

for my soul to rest in 

what if 

i set my hopes to high 

for a place that i imagine will see me better than anywhere else

and my dreams crumble 

what if there isn't a place

where i can be seen 

and there's only me

only me seeing me
