Strange compliments
on things I don't value
always make me question
my priorities in life.
A stray compliment to
my choice of screen name
makes me wonder if I'm
wasting a hidden talent.
Being told my hair looks good
on a day I forgot to brush it,
or told I smell great
on a day I forgot deodorant,
leads me to believe that
the time I take for hygiene
might be all for naught.
After a moment I'm collected,
realizing priorities differ for people.
But for that split second
I wonder if I've gone astray
and left behind a potential
for being something more.
