i liked it better when i didn’t tell anyone what was going on inside of my brain and i kept people distant and confused and i was alone on my own Small Dumb Island and it was comfy cozy lonely isolating. is this embarrassment or just the normal reaction to giving. eventually i will always be in the presence of someone who demands all of me and will not have time to go back and try to find these pieces and i will be more beautiful and complete and gentle and noble in my giving and i will be so glad to have learned these lessons. but for now i would like to hide from potential vulnerabilities thank you.

There’s too much to be happy about right now

To entertain all of the empty narratives being peddled

Maybe that’s the work of your inverse (on me)

The people that love me see me dancing alone 

The people that don’t 

Don’t see me at all.
