Poetry & Self-Awareness

So much pressure to do better

From people who think are above you

Always trying to give you a lecture

I have to follow their beliefs because they got it from their ancestors

It’s really a nice gesture, but I’ll get it together

I promise, I’m clever

It’s not what you say, it‘s the way you say it, and a lot of times they come out as an aggressor

Trying to make you feel lesser, because you’re not on the same speed, but we don’t have to get to the finish line together

I’m enjoying my journey, it’s a complete adventure

I appreciate your thoughts, but I am my own professor

I’m learning from others, I’m learning from myself and then I put it together

But don’t tell me I can get there as quick as you, because you’re already there, we all have different testers

I’m not sure what gave you the impression that I’m upset I’m not there yet

I’ll get there whenever, I know I don’t have forever, but trust me, the journey, to me, is the pleasure
