i am turning into someone i never
wanted to be. what i'm i supposed to do?
i've seen this all before . can i
handle it with any more grace than all my
many predecessors?
did they come to their current
dismal state by battling this as i am; or by
mere submission, such as i refuse?
i am me, i'll never be like them. i
can survive and yet arrive me.
i am not them... and i will never
be them.
