living is all about learning

one lesson that’s never ending;

the lesson of finding yourself

accepting who you found

embody who you accepted 

understand who you present yourself as

express who you know best

what happens when you’re done?

you’re put to rest

you turn into another person’s lesson

you became a cheat sheet for your loved ones

whilst you cross your fingers and hope

that you made their life easier by a spectacle

the same way your grandmother did

the same way your friend did

by now you stay where you are

watching everyone step away

and hoping none of them look back in reminiscent
