I am something; don't rush process
<p>Everything around me tells me to walk my own path</p><p>Even my body betrays me because there's a voice in my head that keeps saying you have a greater purpose</p><p>Why tell me when it cannot show me ?</p><p>Why place the burden of the unknown on my shoulders</p><p>So now I have to find something I should've stumbled upon</p><p>Now I have to dig for a tunnel, when I haven't seen a light</p><p>Why? Why tell me that I'm more, that there's something bigger than myself inside of me when I still feel so small?</p><p>Why torment me with a future I haven't shaped with my present so how can I picture it?</p><p>I keep telling myself if the pressure was external at least I could walk away from the noise</p><p>But what happens now that my inner voice won't rest until I see a hidden thread</p><p>It's not my fault that I'm walking a path over trudged</p><p>It's not my fault that I follow the waves rather than defy them</p><p>It's not my fault that I looked at life and didn't see options</p><p>It's not my fault that ordinary is my normal</p><p>So why won't you let me dine in my ignorance</p><p>If I'm made for more</p><p>If I'm really made for more</p><p>Then why can't more find me?</p><p>Because truly I haven't searched because I don't see a variety to browse</p><p>So maybe I won't work towards it if I don't believe</p><p>Maybe I won't believe that my dreams are bigger than me if you don't whisper</p><p>But since you seem to know so well why not tell what path I'm supposed to take to this future you claim is waiting for me</p><p>If you truly cannot do that</p><p>If you only saw my future but not what brought me there</p><p>How sure are you that it isn't my present that led to it?</p><p>Stop shouting at me for a minute and answer</p><p>So maybe I've replaced dreams with imaginations</p><p>Maybe I've replaced passion with silence</p><p>Maybe my voice is hibernating or maybe it's germinating</p><p>But who are you to tell me that the way I move is not the way</p><p>So maybe I get lost a few hundred times, but at least I discover hidden corners that no else has been and still I always make it back home</p><p>So maybe I lack everything you saw in the future me</p><p>But maybe she came from nothing, so if I am that nothing I still am something</p><p>The light shines brighter when you've spent years in a dark room</p><p>Knowledge feels like salvation when ignorance is the only air you've breathed</p><p>So don't tell what to be</p><p>Stop whispering in my ear that I'm not doing good enough</p><p>I'm waking everyday and trying</p><p>Sometimes I breakdown crying</p><p>It's just that I'm not seeing</p><p>And I cannot fathom what I cannot even see</p><p>How do I dissect an unknown</p><p>How do I walk towards the light when I'm still trapped in a dark room</p><p>So maybe I just haven't found the handle on the door</p><p>Maybe I just have to learn to understand the darkness to appreciate the light</p><p>I know you mean well but your voice haunts me</p><p>If I'm really everything I ought to be</p><p>Then I will be</p><p>Perhaps that woman would not be without the girl that I am today</p><p>So don't rush my process</p><p>Don't push me to break just to become</p><p>Just let me be me</p>
