Can I, even, survive in the “real world”?
I am such a cocoon, right now.

If she believes that she is a butterfly, Is it
Then, she will bloom out of her cocoon?

Does a bean grow when you are in kindergarten?
[Is kindergarten capitalized?]

So, some have known, since birth—
I was “born for a reason”?

Is there a party in your pants?
I must find my niche.

If I am not “good at fake”,
Then, what can I say?

I was doomed 
At the first glance,

My mosquitoes
Pointing in awkward directions.
