Useless

I kept myself to myself

Because I thought 

Those pieces of me were not useful

That they would get me nowhere

So therefore, they needn’t be shared.

But year after year 

Of boarding up my own windows

Of hyper-analyzing myself

Of judging every particle

To see if I’m useful to the world

Is not only exhausting

It’s fucking stupid.

The very entrapment I made 

To determine usefulness

Is useless
