Here Before

I had the strangest sense of de ja vu 
just now
right after writing these words

Which just tells me 
I’ve been here
Before 

Everything feels 
heavy today 

It’s an interesting feeling 
being told you’re wrong 
for caring. 

I’ve never understood 
the reasons 
for saying 

You need to 
Be/feel/think
This and that
Way

Only to realize
You're not in 
your own
Skin
But another's
that
Doesn't fit

I hope
I never 
do
Fit - that is

It's an interesting feeling
being told you're wrong
for caring
Injustice
comes from that

But really
the thing about 
Poetic justice 
is that 
Its not just

If it means 
I give away
Pieces of what
  makes me 

Human

When the essays won’t fall out, only poetry will do.
