I am.

someone who has their shoelaces untied,

a moon jelly drifting in tidal waves,

a perpetual motion machine,

a grain of sand stuck to the whims of time,

someone who pretends,

that life is fair,

success depends on hard work,

and those who don’t work,

reap their reward,

someone who is afraid,

of falling, but more than falling, failing,

riding a rollercoaster when I’m 4’ 10”,

but the height limit is 5’,

someone who is jealous,

of those who seem to get everything so easily,

those who can free-dive 40ft,

while i’m drowning,

someone who hates,

those who think i’m not capable,

who think my life is a kiddie pool,

and i need to get over it,

someone who has their shoelaces untied,

a moon jelly drifting in tidal waves,

a perpetual motion machine,

a grain of sand stuck to the whims of time,

i have these faults, yes,

life isn’t always fair,

but i am selfish,

and i want to be the one who stands up,

when everyone thinks i will fall,

sand can become glass.
