Up to Me?
Is it, really?
Me. Mediocre.
Slouching in my office chair, swallowing Tylenol with Monster.
Is it up to me?
Toe rings, ripped jeans, Hogwarts varsity jacket.
Looking sixteen at twenty-three.
Already burnt-out.
Is it up to me?
Do I have the whole world in my hands?
It's risk.
It's responsibility.
It's reward.
And whatever I am, it's up to me?
