I Am Scared. I Am Afraid.
Location
I was born in a racing heart beat
I inherited a bustling society
A system thrown upon me
Forcing my hand in many different ways
I was made to be different
In a place that begs us to be the same
I was attempting to be different
While the industry of my life drives me insane
And I have developed high anxiety
For my heart races in fear of failure
Not of the system
But failing myself
My existence
And then there are the people I was born to
Who drove morals into me
And engraved powerful commandments
Like those handed down to Moses
And my heart is racing
I am scared
I am afraid
Of my existence becoming not what it wants.
And it is funny
For it constantly fights with the ideas of society.
They quarrel
They argue
Society wants me to fit into a mold.
While I want to create the mold.
And it is scary to think that society puts such a weight on us.
Like Atlas holding up the world.
That they give us such deeds.
As if we were Heracles killing the hydra.
For it instills fear in me.
And I grab my heart.
Full of high anxiety.
I am scared.
I am afraid.
