Subpar

 Subpar


Initiating intimacy

Not good enough

Ever good enough?

Compared to what?

Compared to whom?


Integral part of me

Buried, hidden

Shared, explored

Ashamed—escaped

Impossible to retract


It’s out.


Who she is

Embarrasses you and

Bothers you.

Bothers her?


Reaching, striving

Better, improving

But 

The finish line

Always 

moves further ahead


Super

Woman

Is 

An

Insult


How does she do it all?

She doesn’t.


Super?

Sub-par.
