Ungracious

Much to my own dismay,

I’m once again checking in

With what small people are selling today.

Their words do entertain

But I’m a sucker for discomfort

And I let them spread my chest pains.

Whenever they call my bluff,

The the doors lock in place firmly,

They scream that it’s never enough.

I wonder all alone

Whether being the bigger person

Will ever feel like a home.
