Some days I feel insignificant and it’s a feeling that I cannot shake.
I feel insignificant like the empty pages at the end of a novel
or the fringe of a scarf that serves no purpose.
I feel unwanted like an email forward
or advertisements you hear on tv.
I feel undesirable like dust that gathers on furniture
or belt holes that do not serve its owner’s figure.
I feel unnecessary like warnings on hot to-go cups
and beach fronts in cold climates.
I know I don’t belong here,
but I don’t know where else to go.
I wish I knew how to shake this feeling,
but there’s a part of me that thinks I have no choice.
Who am I to argue?
