Fitting In

All that

Effort

All that

Stress

And still

You looked

Like a hot

Fucking mess

But whether

They noticed

Your distress

Or even

Cared

Is anyone’s

Guess

  1. This is familiar territory for me. Long time ago, I use to feel this way a lot. Still at my age, I never fit in and always stay true to myself. Anxiety is the enemy my friend. All we can do is fight the good fight to restore balance. It’s not easy it’s a struggle. That being said, your poem made me think and love it a lot. 🙂

      1. You are welcome my friend. You’re such a kind and amazing soul. Thank you for you always being you.

        P.S I’ve been away for a long time. Things on WordPress have changed on my end. I don’t know if you can see what I post but here’s another link to my post from last week. In case you missed it. I figure your words are relatable to me…I think my words will hopefully relate to you as well.

        1. Aw, thank you! ☺️ It’s easy to “be me” when I hide under a pen name here. To be fair that was always my intention from day one and the freedom it affords works well for me 👍

          Yes, I thoroughly enjoy your work hence why I was so glad to see you back ☺️ I’m sure I still follow you so your posts should still show in my reader, though I confess I can miss a few days sometimes and it’s hard to catch up 🖤🖤

          1. You welcome.

            It’s quite alright and normal to hide under a pen name. Anonymity is important. You think my name is real? No. I’ve been going by this name since the end of (Myspace) days.

            Double check to see if you are following or subscribed to my page. I notice WordPress has made a lot of changes to their layout and such.

            As always…sending you a million blessings. 🙂
