Liking Different

I fell short of holding myself together

During the times you went about your business

I searched for meaning between your words

As I searched to find a reason for the attraction

I wrote words that painted rainbows

With hidden clouds that rained and soaked my surroundings

As I held myself accountable for every action and reaction

I drank coffee

Indulged in chocolate

And dreamed of an alternate me

During the whisper of isolation

I got to see people as they are, not as I want

As I neared the end of my walk

Sometimes crawl through my mind

I realized I was okay with my differences
