pastel hoodie
sleeves too long
thumb holes stretched like tiny galaxies
i walk home under a sky
the color of bubblegum milk
and pretend the clouds
are soft enough
to keep secrets
someone said
“pick a side”
like i’m a coin
or a hallway
or a checkbox
but i’m more like
a sticker sheet
half moons
pixel hearts
sparkly stars
and that one weird frog
no one knows where to put
my name feels different
in different lighting
in the bathroom mirror
it’s nervous glitter
on my friends’ tongues
it’s warm mochi
in my own head
it’s a tiny planet
spinning however it wants
sometimes the world
feels like a crowded cafeteria
full of loud labels
but i sit on the floor
with my headphones
and a strawberry soda
drawing new constellations
between freckles on my hands
because if the universe
can keep inventing stars
i think it’s okay
if i keep inventing
myself too
