fragmented

they called you out

but you didn’t answer.

you tried to stay objective to stay safe

its okay to admit it.

the situation woke you up

reminded you that you’ve fragmented your life

splintered it into categories of control

the you at work

at home

with friends

when you are alone

dressing up for each occasion

forgetting what you look like

under it all

who you are

i know you can hear hostility

see rejection

taste the contempt

that is why its a radical act

to be seen

to allow yourself to be known

to stand openly before others

i know it doesn’t come natural

but its worth doing

take small steps towards intergration

to share more of you are

some won’t respect you

but you might
