this is a poem called Being.

I want to just exist,
In this moment, as myself.
As all things I could be,
And as all things I have been.

I want to evolve and stay the same.
I want to explore and discover newness.
I want to stay within this comfort yet,
I want to be different.

I want to change my music taste, my aesthetics.
I want to be everything, 
Feel everything, try everything.
I want to be ever-changing.

I don't want to be confined to one thing.
I'm not, I'm everything.
An amalgamation,
Of friends, books, shows, movies.
People.
A sum of their parts.
I am everyone and I am my own.
A living contradiction.

I am not a box.
There are no lines, no rules.
All there is, is to be happy.
I just want to exist.

As I am and as all things I could be.
All the things I want to be.
Just me being human.
I want to just exist.

this i wrote during a season of trying to figure out how i ant to present in the world. I still relate to it almost 2 years later. I guess we never really stop fighting to be ourselves in this world and society, so keep fighting! surround yourself with people who let your inner spark shine and who help you grow in yourself.
