Who am I?
September 11, 2016
Who was I?
Before the anxiety consumed me..
Who did I love?
Who did I want to be?
When did I decide to give up on me?
I complan about the world
always telling me I'm not good enough,
but honestly,
it's me.
I am, and always will be,
my own worst enemy.
I need to stop trying.
I need to care less.
Caring too much
has made me reckless.
I don't know who I am.
Maybe I never did.
But I've never cared to know anything,
as much as this.

"In Hamilton, Burr spends years waiting for a chair to be offered at the table in 'the room where it happens.' Patience and timing will play a part in your ultimate success for sure. But I found the happiness and consistency I wanted for so long at the exact moment I decided to build my own table and my own chairs." ~ Leslie Odom Jr.
