i used to crave for the world to see
the medals i brought home.
because that’s the only way for me to feel
that i make sense, and that
i’ll try to work harder in exchange
of praises.

too much, that i depended the things that
i will choose and do
to what people will tell me.
i was like a loyal dog,
waiting for its owner’s commands,
whether i should or not
bite the tasty toast in front of me.

too much, that i forgot how it feels like
to live free from their words.

i accepted too much of their comments,
that i thought of taking only what they
want for me to take.
