Follower of Rules
I’m a follower of the rules
or at least I make it seem like I do
I satisfy expectations
but only as much as I need to
I’m a high achiever
I stoop low to get what I want
I work hard and do everything promptly
try my best to do the bare minimum
I’m happy
to waste time
I’m a confident, intelligent person
perhaps in some wonderland
I am optimistic
about nothing
trudging through life
trudging through lies
This poem is really amazing, I am sad that I couldn't hear it presented out loud. I love the idea and how you played back and forth between what people expect of us when we meet expectations, and what really happens sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting poem and I feel like I can relate to it in a small way. Your poem is heartfelt and very well written.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing poem. Short but it's very interesting and powerful.
