whether we like it or not
it seems we have little choice but to return
in adulthood
to the habits taught to us in our youth
if only because they bring womb-like comfort
in an otherwise boundless world

i don’t recognize my life anymore, it’s living itself
there isn’t a place i can rest my head that feels like my home —
maybe that was a concept only for childhood
~
i’m like tempered glass, i can take anything and never break,
but i feel nothing either
~
my highs and my lows have been averaged out
to a near-constant forbearance
~
i don’t know if i’m stronger for keeping it together
or stronger if i’d let myself unravel
~
it makes me happy to make you happy
but i don’t know who i am anymore
or if i should strive to be anyone at all
