(u n) l i k e / m e

i met you and i thought

finally, someone like me.

but then i hear you talk about

the party you partied at

the drinks you drank

the walk of shame you walked

and everyone is laughing and bonding

over similar ill-fated experiences.

and i’m sitting there

next to you

trying to make myself

small

trying to make myself

disappear

because you’re just like the rest

which means you’re normal

which means i’m still

alone

un-normal
