Mind Jumble

Misunderstanding, rejection, hurt
So hard to articulate
Body tightens
I must write down the words so that I can own this feeling
Disappointment
Did I give myself away too quickly?
Is who I am and who I am perceived to be so different
That I have misplaced my identity somewhere in the gap of the two
This is petty.
Strength, focus
Don’t question, just be.
