Belong
by Ramsés Dávila-Luna at The Writer’s Cavern
Imitate to be there
For a face to camouflage
Jump high to cover the fare
Settle in the low when solo
When the feelings surge
If you don’t belong
As the octopus, mastering lone
Connections double charge
A rat race that discounts
Losing in the merry-go-round
To frontrunners that buy distance
So, you play it safe
When to live in the shade
Flowers tomorrow’s goal
To seed and sprout as different
They choose when to listen
To a lens that can’t be seized
Sit in the back and observe
The fakes live large
But you know who you are
When you’re not a knockoff
