Strangers assume so much about you
And so do your friends
And your family
We all fill in the gaps
To make our stories
That we tell ourselves
Stories with our slight bias
The ones where we are the main character
And everyone else is a side character
We slight them if we need to
In order to present ourselves
As the person we think we are
To ourselves
It’s quicksand
And if you don’t learn quickly
And then work to be better
You’ll sink everyone around you
And then you’ll drown yourself in the slow sand
