ethereal

may the ones i leave behind 
never lie in their journals, 
in their conversations, or to themselves 
and call me "too good for this world," 
when the world and i have always been two of a kind. 
let it be known that not all unsuitable things 
are too perfect or too light to be ill-matched 
for the place you were born into; 
some of us are heavy, 
some of us are undoubtedly flawed. 
no, we were never ethereal, 
we were mere mortals straining to be.
