Out of all the words
I've been called in my life
(and I've been called quite a lot of different things)
the one that stuck with me the most has to be
impossible.
I can work with cynical
I can understand cold
but I never managed to wrap my head around impossible
I'd spend hours virtually running my hands through it
dwelling on every letter
shaping my body to look like it
and I just wanted to stop existing
because how can something impossible be real
there's no place nor time for impossible
It took me a while to realize that impossible
meant that they were giving up on me
without even making an effort
because behind impossible
there's the implicit saying
“you're hard to love and I really don't want to try”
but that's okay
just like two negatives make a positive
I just had to find someone just as impossible.
