CHOSEN FAMILY.

• Author: Griffiths, Rachel Eliza
• Position: Poem

When you find your people you'll still look over your shoulder sometimes to see if you're being followed. You're hoping one or two people you don't know will want to see where you're going. When you find your people they won't ask you where you came from because they'll already know & if they don't they'll be busy putting good food on your plate & asking you if you're hungry or broke. When you find your people they'll tell you to use any bathroom you want, marry anybody you want, work side-by-side together for long hours in close quarters without any fear of being harmed. When you find your people they'll throw the ball to you, offer you their love song & say you need to listen to this track & dance with us whether or not you know all the steps. When you find your people they'll say Do You Remember & you'll say Yes until you remember together the different ways the whole thing happened. When you find your people they'll say wear whatever you want, wear the tightest dress, wear the hot pants, wear your birthday suit. They'll say we love your skin & drag & natural hair & we love you naturally so please just live & don't let anybody kill you or tell you...
