“Lately I’ve been finding a lot of inspiration in the work of others.

Often when I read a poem, there will be a line (or 5) that sounds spectacular and presents a really interesting idea, but then doesn’t explore it.”

 

When they talk about their inadequacy, I say “me too”, I feel it too

When they talk about their imposter syndrome, I totally know how it feels- so, ” me too”

So on days I want to trace my way home, I walk the path of their words

 

But they don’t describe this me that I know

They dance around the feeling but do not touch my tears on sad nights

Their hearts are not described to crumble and quake like mine does

They stand at the bank of the rivers flowing

But never enter it
