no
a second or two, tops
I gave in. Didn't
even know
I was fighting it
I don't think I was,
but
I felt
the strange edge
of a feeling like
what if I cared?
About what people
think? About me?
People I don't even
know?
I didn't so much
imagine that mattering
as let the edge bleed in.
And it felt so bad.
like pain.
It was not
like the pain
I knew,
so
the sheer
unfamiliarity
made it almost worse!
Hey! In that moment,
I teetered on the brink
of falling further maybe
all the way in. And then stopped.
And it all fell away. Mind-blown.
What a weird bad rush.
Surely I have felt that way
before,
as a child, maybe
not.
But I
feel some epiphany,
now I know. And I think
that I do.
Compassion ordering.
I need to level up
of falling further maybe
all the way in. And then stopped.

I need to level up
