Flipping Pages

I turn over the pages of my past

And it makes me uneasy

But as I reflect

I understand my anxious breath

Hoping others saw me the way I wanted them to

That I saw myself that way as well

I try so hard to play a part

I’ve learned not everyone see’s the same play

It’s a role I wish to unburden from my mind

Give my self the grace to know I am not an actor

But a human thrown into the impossible
