I'm gonna TRY
to be COHERENT 
BUT 
don't be surprised if it doesn't make sense 

I feel like 
I saw myself differently 
LIKE 
I was me NOW analyzing ME then

SEEING things from my
NOW perspective 
& THAT 
was a THING 

BUT 
ALSO
I lost ahold of ME NOW 
in me THEN

BUT 
ALSO
I KINDA 
got caught up in the STORY of it
LIKE 
the REALITY of it all
WAS messy-er at the TIME 

BUT NOW
telling myself the story in my HEAD 
it became this
HEROIC struggle to become the person 
I NEEDED
sh*t--  THAT sounds like a meme

I KNOW 
I've spent my life trying to 
PERFECT myself 

I'm NOT LEARNING 
THAT now

BUT 
ALSO
I'm not STILL attached to these people 
they came in
they went out
it didn't SEEM appropriate to 

WHAT does that SAY
ABOUT me

does that make me
DETACHED 
or incomplete 

it's
SEEMS like 
I worked out a way to
GET a LOT of 
LIFE EXPERIENCES

in ALTERNATIVE ways
to the WAY that is 
NORMAL

& I tend to say
YEAH

I mean, that tracks
