Disenchanted
I'm starting to feel
trapped inside my words
because suddenly
it's become
Something I'm Good At
that my parents brag about
when their friends
bring it up it at parties -
it's on its way to turning into
what people expect from me,
eager to share their advice
like they know better than me
the kind of stories
I should make
which characters feel
real and fake
and now this pen
holds their pressures
That in writing
I try to escape
but there is no escape -
Oh God.
There is no escape.
So it's no surprise
this joy, too, they'd take.
