Uncertainty
spilling from me
— By this point
swear to God I
must exude it

I don’t know what to be
how to be
— All the guides
have never met me,
don’t respect me

Surface simplicity
was a lie
all along
— Internal pressure
keeps building
rattling the bars
of the cage.

Key Message: Sometimes it’s frustrating to be human — and other people’s paths don’t always fit
