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.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlXBlCKvCL

After the battle,

my face burns red,

like I’ve been stung

by a hundred tiny wasps.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrBg4UOvr0

Sometimes I don’t

even notice

until I meet

the mirror.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPtWyteLQi

People look like

I’ve done

something wrong.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCTnMxXvKS

“Why would you do that?

Just let it be.”

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrlq0Nl7QC

Let it be?

It doesn’t disappear—

it burrows deeper,

plots beneath the skin.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQp9jepd3J

Why pay someone

to pop my face

when I know

its secrets better?

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmika043J5

I don’t say that out loud—

especially to elders.

I hold my tongue.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbFHNbrChF

But holding back

doesn’t mean

I’m silent.

It means

I’ve learned

which truths

to carry quietly.
