I was made to be on top by God, But I became a tool that only nods. I see myself — I know I’m better, But I can’t control it… and that’s what’s bitter.
I want to live as my true self, But became someone who hides from himself. I knew I needed a pause, a break, But they yelled, “Stop? For God's sake?”
So I paused… and quietly broke. Now I can’t hit back — I’m sinking slow. In a lake of silence, deep and wide, I watch the real me — float outside.
This is for the version of me that never got the chance to grow. I didn’t fall behind — I just wasn’t allowed to catch up.
