  • Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?

  • Thread

    I used to spin golden thread

    thin and pure as warm sunlight

    lighter than feathers

    worth more than gold

     

    Now it's murky and brown

    chunky and stringy as grassy mud

    heavier than sorrow
