ChoosersA Poem by TheetranquilpearlWe struggle to find people who will accept us for who we are.
We all beg somewhere
We feel a necessity to be accepted for someone to understand us We are hungry for validation We need to know if we belong I mean what is the shape of water when the container bursts? We would rather kiss the feet of someone who makes us feel hollow Someone who makes us feel like we don't contain You don't contain enough water We do this because that person has the final say On how much you should be filled up You're leaking You are half full We do not choose people who believe we flow like the ocean Or people who make us feel like unending waterfalls Because beggars can't be choosers © 2020 TheetranquilpearlAuthor's Note
