I dreamed my way here I’ve had my cringe moments I feel pressure, I lose perspective I’ve wholeheartedly failed I misspeak, underthink, overreact I try to do the right thing the right thing isn’t always clear I’ve tried to hold on I’ve let go with grace I’ve charged ahead I’ve stepped aside I self-sabotage, then try to do better I’ve self-consciously retreated I’ve stood up for others I’ve backed down and apologized I’ve rinsed and repeated I’m a chameleon, but I’ve never been perfect I’ve under-reacted to challenges I’ve overreacted to the ordinary I devalue likeability I indulge the language of play I share my human experience I don’t know what else to say.
