Can I Just Be the Universe

I’m so sick of feeling small, But too big to fit, And not small enough, But too small to speak (Not enough room for words). Silenced. Do not make me feel small You make me feel small So much makes me feel small And then there are days when I feel too big. Clunky Unwelcome I outgrew my body. My voice, My personality, My laughter Outgrew my body. And you try to shove it all back in to fit and it gets overcrowded and I feel overcrowded like there isn’t enough room in this universe for both Me And You. Stop making yourself feel small You are big And big is ok Lots of things are BIG And OK The universe is ever expanding Exponentially Infinitely Into the nothingness that surrounds it And I think it’s ok. Why can’t I have infinite nothingness to expand into?

This poem is one I will think of throughout the day. Especially this part: "And then there are days when I feel too big. Clunky Unwelcome I outgrew my body. My voice, My personality, My laughter Outgrew my body."
