Stop
trying to be someone you're not.
don't let yourself be molded
too much
by others, good or bad.
they want to be someone else
just as much as you do.
everyone wants out,
out of their life and into someone elses.
but where would they go,
into another life
that craves the same thing in a different circumstance?
so walk around
bit by bit,
learning to be you.
it will turn out awkward
and awful
but that's what people are.
when all the bullshit faces are gone,
we are a solid mess of corruption,
a mold of our lives turned upside down.
no one is who they seem to be,
but even more so no one is who they want to be.
Because we try too hard to be the one who has their shit together.
