As the sun rises, so does my curiosity
I live in a world of complexity
With each free second my mind races with questions I cannot yet answer
With each unanswered question, the monster festers within me, itching for certainty in an ever changing world:
He spits

What can you do to leave here better than you found it?
What if you aren't cut out for college?
What if you aren't smart enough?
What if What if What if
What is your purpose?
What does the future hold for you?
When will you be enough?
When did you stop being enough?
When will you give up?
What's keeping you here?
Why are you sad?
Why isn't anyone else sad?
Why aren't you like everyone else?
Why Why Why

Some days I fill each second
muffling the monster
Some nights I pray the sun won't rise
