How much of you is what
How much of you is to conform
To stick within what’s in the norm
How much of you is influence
Pre-cut views that choke your essence
How much of you is rebellion
Jumps to the opposite, a reaction
How much of sabotage makes you
Trauma-bred bugs chewing you off like stew
How much of you is misplaced pride
Shots in the foot, covetings you hide
Strip down, Live! Have the audacity to be
More than the product of your context and history
