i am not the most loved poet
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ nor
⠀⠀⠀ am i⠀⠀⠀⠀ the most loved father oh no-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ struggling in the pine ocean
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ needlecold waters slamming
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ my head back down
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ mimicking the gesture
⠀⠀⠀ of a reversed ugly birth
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[ (1) heartbeat ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ [ (1) heartbeat ] and its okay...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀really.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀­⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i know my place  we all have one
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀ like that long sought piece
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ completing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ a section of the puzzle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀ each of us (if we're lucky)
⠀⠀ brings forth our timing and measure
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀experience
⠀⠀and
⠀⠀pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀to make something
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀new
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀hey
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀look world
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀it's me (you)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
