How did I get here

Who have I been

what kind of a friend am I

who do I really want to be

what do I want

why am I like this

who could I have been

where could I have gone

have known

thought

experienced

felt

learned

from the world around me?

What would I feel like

if I had succumbed to makeup

trending clothes

hateful words?

How have I become this human being

how did I get here?

How did my life lead up to this?

Why am I like this?

What has the world become?

    Orange pen

    curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page

    fulfilling my orders

    moved by my hand.

     

    Orange pen

    flying, soaring, leaping

    dancing across the page

  • How come?

    Are you aware

    what you did?

    For the third time?

    Once again?

    Do you know

    how I feel?

    Ignored

    overlooked

    how come?

    How come you didn't put in my effort?
