Note to Self

When did it get so hard?

To speak aloud

a list of three

or even just one?

You are asked,

And you ask yourself,

What do you love about

You?

Can you name three?

Two?

One defining characteristic?

I found it hard.

As what I believed and

what I knew became

dissonant

I sat and thought

and thought some more

I love that...

I would start and come up blank.

Then you have the difference between

say and feel.

How often do we lie to others

but if we looked within

the truth

reveals.

When you realize

The most significant

and tragic

Unrequited love story

is with

Ourselves.
