I know I'm tough to swallow

wallowing, I think, over the idea

of forcing myself to be

palatable, a dream it would seem

that's always out of reach



and how much I crave

to be drank up without appraise,

an' praise me for the aspects of myself

that I am not afraid

to show bare, put on display



and how nice it would be,

if you could find such qualities

that I do not yet see

if any exist, they are not known to me



I know I'm tough to swallow

it might be a waste to try

but if you could, I'd too follow

if you'd only drink me dry

I tire, honestly, of the way in which we've pedestaled nonchalance. I don't care if I seem too eager, too desperate. If they do not hold—and show—the same earnest excitement to see, to speak, to hold me, why should I care to entertain them? We are taught not to "show our cards,' but I do not find this a game. It is pure human connection, and I do not believe it sin to care or yearn for another. Do away with your feign of apathy. Share wholly in one another. I cannot reconcile with the notion of a relationship formed at arms length—lend me your arms, as I would have them, and you may have mine.
