Cream and Sugar

I am too much sweetness
in your coffee—

too kind to be taken seriously
too loud to be included

Or

I am not enough sweetness
in your coffee—

too bitchy, but never assertive
too quiet or meek

I am not enough cream
in your coffee—

hair too short
boobs too small

Or

I am too much cream
in your coffee—

wearing too many dresses
too many skirts

But what is coffee without it’s
cream and sugar?

Can I not just be coffee?
Can I not just be me?

seen, heard, loved…

I matter for more
than what you think

Yet—

I am still too much
or
not enough

cream and sugar
in your coffee—
