I Wonder
Jamilla Mozelle 1989 (USA)
I wonder if you would have made that remark
Had you known it would send my anxiety through the roof?
Did you know that I already wondered that about myself?
That I fight the demons of comparison and insignificance every moment of every day.
Just to sing Post Malone "Sunflower" on the ride to school
Only to have that gray cloud that follows me burst as soon as he is safely inside
Because I refuse to burden him with what burdens me
I wonder if you knew, would you still have made that remark?
Or would you just smile and appreciate how I still manage to keep him healthy, physically and mentally despite everything I go through
The sad part is that you probably still would have.
