Living Outside
The box can be so
Hard. It’s like tip-toeing
Down a hall of
mirrors
You’re trying so hard to be normal, but with
All of your differences amplified and with
No choice but to face them, achieving that goal
can
Become a heart-wrenching disaster that
Shatters you from the inside out. You’re in the
Middle of a tug-o-war and it’s impossible to
be
What everyone else wants. And as you
Try and try to be this
Image of perfection you’re
so
Focused that you lose yourself. You slap a
Smile on your face, even convince yourself your
Happy, because that’s what they say they want, but everyone’s
deceiving.
