what I was told was not



If I were told a birthright in my early years,
it could have been a quiet ease of belonging,
this sense that a place might open
simply because I stepped near.
If that promise were mine, I would carry it still—
but I learned it was not, and I would walk differently.

As did I. This rings true. Still walking differently. Not necessarily thrilled about it.
