Welcome

“No,

I don’t feel excluded

alienated.

isolated.

Not even thwarted.

Nah.

 

I feel

…nothing.

I don’t covet what you covet.

It’s too expensive for my self-esteem.

If I did once, it was because you made me believe

it was good.

 

You know the secret?

If you don’t covet something, you can’t get disappointed in not having it.

It’s oxymoronish. Really.

[Even if this isn’t a word in the dictionary.]

 

I never will praise unedited half-baked lines.

Never bend my back.

Never think of myself an un-equal inside my head.

Why would I when I have self-belief…

and proven and endorsed certificates of merit?

But

just,

just,

just… thank our stars I don’t covet what you do.

Because if I had…just if I had

do you know what I would have done?

Think.

Think.

Think.

And Thanks for dropping by.

I’m fine.

Like I will always be.”
