Never Have

you don’t belong
you never have

it’s the voice in the middle of the night
the one that keeps you from peaceful sleep

a reminder that you're a broken puzzle piece
a loose floorboard
a chipped tile

the haunted house that contains your soul is an anomaly

you can pretend to fit
you can mask it with false beliefs

in the middle of the night, the reminder comes

you don’t belong
you never have

no amount of hoping, wishing, trying
every part of you is broken
every part of you is damaged

Fiction and other things :

If you’re feeling really giving, you could always buy me a coffee.

Looking for a pump of creativity? My book might help!
