you were never meant
for ordinary
not the small talk
not the bare minimum
not the “wyd” at 11:47pm
you don’t crave attention
you crave alignment
depth
consistency
energy that matches yours
without you having to shrink to fit it
and that’s why
a lot of things don’t excite you
it’s not that you’re difficult
or asking for too much
it’s just that
you can feel the difference
between real
and convenient
between effort
and habit
between someone who wants you
and someone who just
doesn’t want to be alone
your intuition?
it be real picky
it don’t get butterflies
for potential
it don’t romanticize confusion
it gets quiet
it observes
and when something ain’t it?
it turns cold
so no
you’re not “too much”
you’re just not impressed
by ordinary
and honestly?
you were never supposed to be
