i have woven
together
love & rejection
my earliest experiences with love
being rejection
people become important to me
once they have
rejected me
i focus on this rejection
instead of
acceptance
i look for my worth
in the eyes
of people…of men
who reject me.
i feel anger that i am not
valued
i let my anger become
who i am.
i am not my anger.
i am not that reflection
i see
in the eyes
of people who cannot
love
me.
