I am not a people magnet.
I dispell them unbeknownst to me.
When I find them around me,
they tend to my growth.
They weed out my bad traits and
open my eyes to things that use to be strange.
Then, I lose a part of myself.

Cocooned.
While changing, I cry.
There is loneliness in this throne I was born for.
At times my existence
takes a toll from that feeling.

So I breathe after holding it for so long
and bring my head out of the water.
There I see how I am not chewing more than I can chew.
I am here because I can.

Now I know that I should breathe from time to time. After all, I am swimming in uncharted waters of life.
