today i am thinking for myself i think? i’m not quite sure you told me to just be myself to construct my own thoughts and demolish the ideas that years of constant bashing toxicity and taught irrational fear instilled in me so today. i am thinking for myself you told me to smile more live a little! you said i should forget what people think not care about the constant murmur i seem to always hear i am me and that is enough. right? but what do you think? am i smiling enough? happy enough? forgetting enough? thinking enough? im thinking im thinking im thinking my mind can only paint a lie so big i can’t think anymore im not me anymore i don’t think i’ve ever been me i don’t think i even know what that means i don’t think its occurred to me that i’ve only ever been who people want me to be i don’t think. i can’t. i am not thinking today i’m not thinking at all
