This Is Me: Love or Hate, Don't Care - Pop Session

I can pop my

own pimples—

remove the

white without

a scratch,

at least 3%

of the time.

Call it instinct.

Precision.

Or stubbornness.

After the battle,

my face burns red,

like I’ve been stung

by a hundred tiny wasps.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVgEdlxqJ

Sometimes I don’t

even notice

until I meet

the mirror.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCxZ2jQD9f

People look like

I’ve done

something wrong.

“Why would you do that?

Just let it be.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr861VMrkeA

Let it be?

It doesn’t disappear—

it burrows deeper,

plots beneath the skin.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcKuofuwf

Why pay someone

to pop my face

when I know

its secrets better?

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaoThIF54B

I don’t say that out loud—

especially to elders.

I hold my tongue.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhugua163O

But holding back

doesn’t mean

I’m silent.

It means

I’ve learned

which truths

to carry quietly.
