Social

I would eventually leave the house. 

Feeling unwise. 

And maybe victorious. 

I would always go home at some point. 

I would promise myself, diligently. 

To feel the echoing embarrassment. 

To remember those textures- those voices. 

Wondering if I will ever be truly included. 

Maybe one day, my façade will create respect. 

And eventually- the joy of another’s company.
