Like watching a rerun of your least favorite show
It's almost painful
I can see the shattered hopes and false confidence behind the sarcastic smile plastered on my face
Like a malformed mannequin given too much consciousness
I've been stuck in uncomfortable poses to fit in for the past 19 years
Changing personalities like outfits
I was manufactured to malfunction
Today I went window shopping and walked past my own life
I only wished I had liked what I'd seen
Instead I saw a mangled man contorted into painful shapes trying to find a way to be comfortable
It was simple.
Stand tall
Hands at your side
Chin up
Walk straight and alone
Don't let anyone slow your stride or change the direction
It got easy
Lonely but safe
