expectations and assumptions
you and i
we had it all
why am i here?
i said as i clutched onto my books
indecisively struggling
it is a common event that i never anticipate
must have been the invisible weight that i carry on my shoulders
or the sleep that I'm deprived of
it is easy to speak and make a fuss
but difficult to ignore the voices that echo in our heads
it is all too concentrated
i feel suffocated
but i still keep the noose on
and drag around my own being
in these places
it is like play pretend
and i am the impostor
it was them
who preferred the mask
confusion was the one who got lost
in what it thought to be a playground
i am still strangled by the noose
as i continue to lose
surrounding my neck for its pleasure
and i stay here
blankly staring at the wall
of memories

This is how I felt for the past four years or so.
