this is what you should know about me

i tried to look up why i walk on my toes
googled it
searched for something official like
"toe walking"
it's a real thing
i suppose
i did learn a new word,
idiopathic
it means,
you don't know why
something medically unexplainable
it just spontaneously exists
which took me back to where i started
and to something i already knew
that something
lurks in my family genes
and every so often we just rise up
i rise up
like i'm daring the world
to tell me i'm 5'2" instead of 5'4"
