The Differences

I cannot help it that my heart began beating in 1412

That my spirit animal is a boomerang

Or that I believe that God is a mom

We hold on to the things that make us feel weird

The things that make us feel like we are something

I won’t tell you my secrets

but I will sew them onto shirts

White on white

Black on black

Stitches hidden for you to find

Are you just like me?

Tell me of your past lives

How many people have you been?

How many worlds have you explored?

How many lifetimes do you carry in your bones?
