Do you ever feel like an octopus trying to put on a sweater?
Even if it's a nice sweater
from a fancy store
and your grandma bought it for you -
it doesn't fit.
and it scratches your liquid-smooth octopus skin
so itchy.
I do.
And sometimes I feel like an insect instead
limbs curled up tight
and jutting out.
Lying still and silent in the middle of the night,
heart thumping so loud.
it's all I can hear.
