Who am I without achievement?
I am going to draw koi fish on my nails.
Tiny little things, swimming free in a sea of blue
they can’t see the end of.
But I can.
Everything has an end.
You must remember - live life with your eyes set below that dark horizon.
Everything has an end.
Everyone has an end - a means they’re gunning towards.
Do not set theirs as yours.
I am going to draw koi fish on my nails
(rewarding in its effort and focus)
and for a moment,
I just bask in the sun shining in from the window,
broken up though it is by my blinds.
Sitting here, doing jackall, is rebellion.
I am the light of the sun.
I am my love for my friends.
I am my interests
(and you know the best part?
I have many yet to discover, many yet to be at).
I am all that I give and all that I wish and all I surround myself with.
I am the koi fish I draw on my nails.
