Discomfort in Certainty and Rejection

Weekly Diary Entry #1

They always wanted me to be

Something

Something they wanted

Something they imagined

What they thought I was

---

To pretend I’m

Who I was yesterday

To pretend for them

---

And I craved to truly be

But couldn’t stomach the rejection.
