i wished i could hold your hand 

i wished i could hold your hand because i remembered when i was little and i held hands with my parents 

compared our lifelines 

long and crooked 

scratched in at birth 

our lifelines match in my heart

straight and perfect 

but you hold hands with her 

so i must be wrong 

i am okay with being wrong 

if it means our hands touch

And because everyone wants to be perfect, everyone wants to be loved or valued - we try to conform. We fool ourselves into thinking we’re happy when all anyone is doing is playing a role.” 

“But what if one just sees what the other won’t?” 

“What if they can’t?”
