Containers

Sorry I didn’t fit
I wanted to dive within
Snuggle in with someone
Like you

Sorry I’m too big
Or too small to fit
With someone like you
Who has particular tastes

I tried so long to change
Tried to find the rhythm
As I swayed on your floor
Not nimble enough to play

Mom and dad never told me
Anything about my role
If I was the proper shape
To find a place to fit

I rolled through life
Missing and hitting
All the obstacles on the way
Until I fell into you

Wanted to stay

Sorry I wasn’t right
For someone who sees me
The way you do and that would be
How? So, I know what’s true?

These containers I see
The world provides for us
Doesn’t have the right one
For me to crawl deep within

I’m sad that I’m not the fit
For anywhere I roam
That will allow me to be near
Someone like you

I’ll never change again
For someone who needs a fit
Someone in the right container
To hold onto within.

Don’t want to lose myself.
