"tion" the (non)Believer
My future
Is set by
Expectation
The push
Started with
Provocation
“What do you
Want to be?” they
Questioned
I chose an honest path
With a history of
Condemnation
I want to make
People look pretty
A surgeon for
Beautification
After all
Don’t we just want
Reception?
I sacrificed
Most of my childhood
Animation
To aspire to rename
This shameful
Occupation.
Not until later
Did I think to
Question,
This study
Travels with many
Repercussions,
Why am I
Taking all these
Actions?
To fit into
My parents
Reformation?
To best
My friends’
Ambitions?
Yet despite
My personal
Accusations,
I believe in my goal
Of a future
Reputation.
Therefore I will do my best,
Regardless of the hitchiker’s thoughts and
Contemplations.
I will reach
“My” career by sheer
Determination.
After all
The self
Examinations,
I decide they don’t matter;
They’re worthless
Deliberations.
