Comforting Thought: There are spaces meant for you

“i know you squeeze into tight spaces
with the hope that you may fit
without aching.
there are spaces meant for you
that will not require you to bend
in order to belong safely.”

If it sounds cosy, well it really is! It’s a bit like a Murakami novel but less dark and forboding and more heavy on the kawaii-cute.
