How is it that you see me but look right through me? How can I be standing here yet feel a million miles away? The paradox of who I am and who I want to be is killing me... I am surrounded by people. I have never felt more alone. The expectation wars with reality and I can't tell who will win. Which voice will I listen to? The one who tells me what I ought to be, or the one that already knows who I am?

Who I am
How is it that you see me but look right through me? How can I be standing here yet feel a million miles away? The paradox of who I am and who I want to be is killing me... I am surrounded by people. I have never felt more alone. The expectation wars with reality and I can't tell who will win. Which voice will I listen to? The one who tells me what I ought to be, or the one that already knows who I am?
