Ok my official title is:
grace the great grateful green glorious gleaming gracious genius grand gorgeous glamorous goddesslike grape of gelid gelatinous gastronomical goodness
1. I love that the title of this poem is the poet’s name
2. I love “The amount of fear I am ok with is insane” and “I love many people who don’t love me” and also the ending and I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love this entire poem
I can officially scream this publically but I am the winner of

I just got nominated for a Pushcart and I’m so happy/thankful but I’m also confused like why me/why my poem it’s a nice poem but there were probably other (better) poems the mag could’ve chosen and now I have a ton of doubt and I’m wondering if I should have more self-confidence
