Kimberly Farinas’ Poem

 so many versions of myself

1 showed you my most vulnerable

and then you created a new one

and introduced it to everyone.

The monster you made me out to be

is now able to love.

This version of me is pickier with the ones she lets around her.

And on days that I miss you

I remember

the worst version that you were able to bring out

and then I start to appreciate your absence

and my newfound peace.
