I can't bear the weight,
crushing under its merciless force.
Titles and status have been sought
but conflict with the true self.
Should's and shouldn'ts haunt at every turn,
voices of deceit scream so loud.
The greatest enemy,
casting its net over everything.
Weeds that choke out life of what's inside.
What has to be pulled so that the sun can reach?
Who I see myself as and how others do never seem to line up.
Can't get a clear enough signal to download the program.
Life's gifts are clouded with guilt.
Selfishness inserts itself in every crevice.
Who I am I to deserve attention and voice?
Anything I have to share is kept close at the expense of rotting.
Who will they know when I'm gone?
Will they even care?
Will they remember?
But more, will I be bold enough to share?
