Someone told me
"love looks at decent
ones "
I nodded, sighed, and smirked
but love
made me
like
this
Unleashed my curls
broke my walls
shattered
my people-pleasing
sharpened my poetry
silenced my loud voice
widened my eyes
encouraged my heart
undressed my façade
made me dance naked
in the face of judgement,
sing the songs of truth
and fall in love with
all things wrong
right, left, ugly, beautiful
and gave strength
to the choice that
always stood in the back
but now takes center stage
"Love left me right",
"Love leaving, made me write"
