Back to front fool .
You will never truly know how easy it is to say no instead of yes . I’m a back to front fool but deep down I wish I was born a new .It’s so hard to try to explain why I’m not like you . It makes me feel things that tear
me down and fear creeps in. Yes means I may begin in a coffee shop with a latte with a stranger trying to navigate safe conversations yes the weather is rather
cold for June and yes I like tuna toasted sandwiches and salad on the side . I’m on edge as I know damaged goods are sold discounted a chip on a cup or a missing button on a blouse and I wonder how if
objects were human how they would feel If they had a voice to explain how and why they ended up on the clearance rack . Funny thing is you know in my world I would truly understand . Imperfections are hard to hide
and explaining is not conducive to many coffees and finding friends . So I sit alone with no as my companion sipping loneliness slowly with chocolate sprinkles . My consolation prize for being a fractured back to front fool .

Dear M,
Clearance rack emotions. For me, this poem so aptly defined that wretchedness of not feeling wanted or good enough. I was the garment no one wanted to wear. Better to hide in plain view. Such a palpable ache in this write I found so touching. And I really liked the expression of back to front fool. Wonderfully written. H🌷

It’s a painful place to be . I felt worried to write it as it exposes raw feelings but words can allow you to write how you feel .
