I wish

I wish I didn't fit into the four sided box that has

become my life

where I'm attached to the misshaped definition of

the right way to be

 

I wish i could live in the right now

not knowing what is expected of me

no longer having to follow a predestined plan

freed from unrealistic expectations

no longer fulfilling dreams that were never mine 

I wish I could be blemished by my own wrong actions

Filled by the comfort of not surpassing a barrier

no one expected me to break

 

But instead I'm pushed to attain an unflawed state of being

where togetherness is not optional

and to be exceptional is the bare minimal
