Maybe I’ll

pretend

like my life’s been

interesting;

pretend

like I had an interesting

start

and now am searching

for an interesting

end.

Maybe I’ll

pretend

I have some

significance

in this world

besides for the few

friends and family

who think

I do.

Maybe I’ll

start with being

born

into a terrifying world

and trying to

find

            my

                        voice.
