I Am

I am a follower not a leader 
I am a duplicate 
A  clone of another 
I follow other instincts before my own 

Results in life
Concluded that i will 
Tear and dig into myself trying
To find something worth keeping 
As if i were to find something hiding beneath the
Surface of the Dirt in the earth
Rotten and old 
Like an old dog bone left unwanted with 
Scars and indents  left evident on the surface 

Results of societies 
Change the way we vision our reality 
I change inside and take the steps needed
To become that expectation
 While not noticing all the harm that has already been done 

At the end of the day 
No challenge has actually been  won
These challenges  results in fear or failure
I alone observe the 
 Past and wonder why i believe  in such said 
Protocols i have inhabited in my head.
