A Ribbon For Your Thoughts

Making ribbons
Of all that is given
I just can't seem to fall
Into your structured living
I swear I have tried
To be marginalized
But I just get so sick
On all of your lies
And I swear I
I try to unhear
I try to unsee
But the wasted energy
Just burns into me
And fuels my fire
A light I lit
To find my desire
An endless task
That I can not see
Through your twisted mask
I am aghast
And grasping for breath
In a bottomless flask
But I swear I
I have tried to see
All the great things
You told me about
And tried to show me
Absolutely
Apologetic
And despite the wear
I am energetic
But I'm grasping at straws
Trying to ditch
My mind's eye
That sees every flaw

...yup...good job expressing the angst of trying to be a citizen of two worlds...Pandora's box kind of thing...once you've thought the thought any thought that comes short of the thought just shrivels...at age thirty-two I stopped trying to conform...
I try to unhear
I try to unsee
But the wasted energy
Just burns into me
...these line were particularly alive for me...
