Don’t demonstrate to me what you can show without effort
The personality of life takes its shape in you
Oh how I wish I was that lively
Still, I take time to come into my own
A feeling of lack makes me think I’ve found a home
In you
I want to be like you but I’m not you
What a dissonance
You flaunt your privilege
While I’m submerged underwater, waiting to come up
You’ve found a comfortable raft on which to brave the seas
Oh the irony
This old rickety thing?
What am I saying?
I bite my tongue until it bleeds
Maybe that will teach me
Finally
To let it all go
