Poetry Series – Outside Will

I had listened to enough outside influences for so long that I remember telling my therapist one day that I had no idea who I even was. It felt pathetic but like it was the truest thing I could say at the moment. Sometimes, I still surprise myself but overall I know myself well enough to identify what is coming from me and what is someone else’s will for my life. It’s with more and more confidence, each time, that I choose my own path – it’s the only one right for me.

Outside Will

different personalities
get on medication
hard to deal with
too much
inconsistent
different
no enough
too quiet
too serious
too hyper
too silly
too excitable
a lot of people have opinions
suggestions
wills for you
everyone, perhaps
silence them
tune in
to your intuition
you’re always
perfectly enough
perfectly everything
imperfectly human


Much love, until next time.
