Me

How to be the boy — sorry, "the man" — who finds the middle ground. It's easier to talk about others than to show a piece of yourself.

Day to day, I keep my life as quiet as possible, which means I have very little to tell. I overthink, because I'm afraid of boring people.

I lose my words when I feel I'm not enough. I often feel I'm not enough.

On the street, my eyebrows are knit so people won't bother me. I wish my eyebrows weren't knit.

I'm not afraid of how others see me, I just hope they don't notice me at all.

I find silence comfortable. I dream of light interactions, yet I often end up avoiding them.

I wish I were more relaxed. More me.
