when you are at the intersection of
becoming and being
it is a self serving lesson and even though others try to dictate who you are
either authentic or manufactured
from your creativity
the opportunity is yours
not theirs
and you must be strong enough to not be liked by everybody
because they don’t want to be wrong
nor do they want you to be right
nor do they want you to be anything
other than what they can control
it is the friction of knowing and showing respect for it is a constant
reminder that all of us were created
alleged-lly equal
intentionally without mistake
the struggle to coexist
yet the only conflict
is that we can not accept ourselves so we nit and pick at others self esteem
as if that would elevate our own pride
standing in the shadows of our forefathers
as if to redeem some sort of prize
it’s like the R word vs the N word
and who can hold their breath the longest
who shall cast the first stone said no one other than a hater waiting for you to fall all because you were defiant to them yet compliant enough to visualize and actualize the corporate bullshit
yeah
well I guess that makes me unfit
unmanageable
unintelligent
unfriendly
undesirable
unacceptable
unruly
and currently unavailable
or maybe just misunderstood
all the while I am understanding
because I am under who
still I am not beneath
I mean how could I possibly know something
they don’t
yeah
that’s it
we become numb to survive
