LOST IN FANTASY #poetry by jay

small child with hands covering their face
You’re super weird 
clearly lost to your ego dream
nevermind me/  i am only three

and lost in fantasy—
learned 
to protect my feelings

spilling out my seams
way too early

but that is 
only relative
to your ability
to see me/ even at three.

    So heartbreaking when three-year-olds aren’t seen. Beautifully written and stark with feeling, Jay.
