Close for Comfort
Done a lot of stupid things
under the guise of comfortability,
allowing yourself to slip between meanings,
normalizing the unnormal.
You look back with a twinge of disgust.
Not yet regret, but a pang
of foreign sickness.
Not prideful enough
to think your actions go
without consequence,
universally blessed.
But just egotistical enough
to assume in that moment,
everyone was looking at you.

Powerful words! Thank you for sharing!
last line so good
I feel exactly as attacked as I need to
which just proves the point of the poem doesn’t it?
