I wrote this poem in June of 2024.

me reading my poem “taco bell”

my exes should all get a participation trophy
for dating me, for marrying me,
for putting up my madness
for becoming muses of my poetry
unwillingly, unintentionally
for surviving the rollercoaster
that is me

  1. You could say they’ve been “mused” to create your poetry haha. But for real, the self-awareness of what you wrote here shows humanity and makes it relatable so nice job 🙂
