I can I know

The Things We Do When We Don’t Want to Do Things:

Whispered thoughts

Saying the quiet part out loud

People aren’t supposed to be this way

Or are they?

Are we supposed to be anything?

I am people too.

Sometimes continuing a poem does not add value. Sometimes, it detracts.
It’s helpful to have the wisdom to make the distinction.

I am ok with people not understanding what I mean.
I am ok with not understanding what I mean.
I am ok with not understanding.
I am ok.

I am trying.
I am trying to write every day.
I am trying to write every day no matter what.
I am trying to enjoy writing every day no matter what.

It’s easier to enjoy something when I do not feel forced.
Sometimes extreme rigidness does not add value. Sometimes, it detracts.

Sometimes the rules in my head demand to be followed.
It's hard to tell them no, it's hard to look away.

I am making an effort
To break the pattern
At least some
Of the time.

It's freeing to try something new, to be different.
Sometimes I change course mid task and I am ok with it.
