I: Turning
turning from the things
I don't want to see
self-enforced prohibition
hiding me from me
hiding myself from others around
shaping myself
to fit them
and their needs
of who I ought to be
this shape-shifting confuses
I try to ignore it
ignore the fickle will
living inside
but when I break loose
and defy these
self-imposed boundaries
people wonder what's wrong
with me
