school
when will i learn
when will i learn
when will i learn
to stay hidden while remaining open
to mark my boundaries without building walls
to be happy with what i have without doubting what i deserve
to believe in myself while questioning everything i've ever been taught to believe
to actively seek what is in my heart yet not covet what i desire
to touch whomever i can yet keep my hands to my self
to give up fighting when there's nothing to win
to think outside of the box while living within
to respect pain without sacrificing pleasure
to play with fire and sing with abandon
to keep hope and throw away fear
to love unconditionally
to die unemotionally
to live for myself

Is this the dissertation? 😉
This is a deep and I really like the conflict.
thank you ! its one of my life lessons i think.. sigh
My favorite line "to mark my boundaries without building walls"
mine would be to play with fire and sing with abandon
