The sighs in the eyes.
All the exhaustion from the concussions.
The pain sank in you because of your lane.
You want to be perfect.
You continue on searching.
You lost your true self.
You pause your identity.
All you want is to fit in society.
But, you sit in wait with anxiety.
You are afraid of being real.
You persuade yourself to conceal yourself.
You don't want to be considered irrelevant.
You pretend in order to stay relevant.
But, you must know something.
Normalization is a social construct that wants to instruct you to be a fake person.
You must break that.
Be a real person.
Feel alive again to survive this wicked world and be lifted high above by being drifted away.
