I carry within me worlds no one has seen
not even me
I feel their edges scrape against my chest
almost breaking free
I’ve held them in so long, too long
I’m not sure why
I must have feared they were wrong
hoped they’d die
But they just kept growing bigger, wider
and to this now
They brought me here, burst me open
showed me how
Letting them out for this world to feel
it’s okay to be here
And now I love them even if no one else
understands them
