What is not is easier to see than what is.
I recognize more of what I'm not than what I am.
I understand what I don't want but not so much what I do want.

But maybe this is simply another lie I've sold to myself.
Maybe I really do know what is but I turn from it for fear of being wrong, being myself.
It's difficult to navigate when you are told that you are not your own and yet to be yourself.
