I’m Scared
That I see my life as a movie
And that I’m not my own
Protagonist
And I’m only a supporting
Character to so many
Other people
Just a face
A background
An extra
To my own story
And my own stories
I tell because no one
Else will ever tell me
As anything important
It’s gotta be me
Saying out loud
All the things I think
Are cool and worth
Debating
Myself and my own values
Every day
When I wake up and think
“What in the world
Can I do today?”
Because that answer
Is frighteningly nothing
Just to keep going
I’m scared I just keep going
And am not doing as much
As I could be
Not that anyone
Would tell me
Consume Reality!
