brevity equals clarity

pretending i am weightless, underneath the sky tonight, and looking down at city lights
makes me feel so small.
i never judged me until you judged you, and only by comparison did i come up insufficient.
and only then did i see myself for what i was, not a snapshot tucked into an old book for someone i don't know to find some day, but i see my face. i see the pores expanding with oxygen and time. i see me as you see me.
just a body encasing something untamed inside.
just a body.
