tribal

michael raven poems April 3, 2023April 3, 2023 1 Minute

This piece is written for day 3 of NaPoWriMo.

i reject everyone's
projected self hate
no more tinsel chewing
on either side of your
mouths

             please

leave useless me alone
under my useless tree
slumbering in a useless field
dreaming of a butterfly me

Remove the word “useless” and I’d like this a lot more 😉😊

  There is value in being useless. 😊
  
  Folks overlook the useless.

There’s such beauty in acceptance and the realization we are always transforming.
