I was born into a family
that didn't understand me
Constantly feeling different
A feeling without
There were moments of clarity,
of similarity
within those that shared
the same name and house
And yet, maybe we all,
they and me,
you and we,
all feel this at some point
or all
in our life
A feeling of distance
between self and other
seeking belonging
understanding
from those we love
and truly the distance
is between self and self
That feeling without
is a feeling within
only remedied by a belonging
only soothed by an understanding
only comforted, eased, whole
with a loving
of self

Writing has gifted me so much. It has held me. Brought me solace through suffering. It has built me a bridge back to myself.
I hope within my pages, within my weaving of words, you may also find a gift.
