Enigma
Am I an Enigma
Or just boring?
Are my friends there for real,
Or just there for convenience?
Their comfort is forced and fake
And I see through their shroud.
When asked
why do I avoid?
When included
why do I hesitate?
What do I need to do to branch out,
Who do I need to meet?
Should I be bolder?
Should I be quieter?
Should I become what I'm not
or stay the same and wait?
But I don't want to wait,
waiting takes too long.
What If I'm not who I am...
What if I'm different than I wish to be?
What if I'm everything I hate,
Or everything no one likes?
What if they never notice me,
Or I'm in the wrong place?
Should I isolate myself,
or jump into the crowd?
Should I leave the country,
or just stay put?
What qualities do I have to adopt,
What properties do I drop?
If I only had answers to my questions...
wouldn't it be simple and grand.
But nothing is ever simple
For me or any others.
So does anyone have the answers,
or do I have to keep searching...
