You Can’t

 How to be free from scrutiny?


You can’t.

You can’t.

You can’t.


I am an insignificant

grain of sand

on a warm sunny beach.


Or so, I wish I was-

what I really am

is an admission

of imperfection.


Loud and unwilling to be treated unfairly.


Tired of being told to be sad

when I’m happy,

tired of saying goodbye to happiness

in order to fit in a crowd I don’t belong.


I’m spent again,

devastated,

deep breaths,

mindful meditated

into nowhere good.


I’ve got this feeling

I’ll be healing

more than just myself-

you can’t heal other people.


You Can’t.

You can’t.

You can’t.
