Som eon e el s e

This isn't a breakup. feels like it.
kicked out of the band. maybe. that's never happened before.
but maybe that's okay. just not jiving. feels like a fist (first). not deniable.

I will play with you - but only
if it's

Inspiration not

obligation

What is it
for me?
This time around, I feel different
less accepted
exceptional only in exception
is it you or is it me
who places the line where it seems to be?
I feel it's me, since I'm the one who may need
to let go and sink
sink sink.

And how to accept the self
without criticism.
let go of what you might think.
