Poetic Diary. 18th May, 2019

Looking at any Man's life
There are certain boxes- or categories
By which their lives can be broken up into.
I could be brief and say there are 3-

Man

God

and

I

-Or 4-

Society

Spirit

Soul

Mind

-But I can rant an entire chapter instead of
Keeping it short.

So short I'll try to make.

In the eyes of the world
I am a black, Kenyan-born, American-influenced, deaf young adult
With so much time on her hands, and little to show for it.

In short a global citizen of Earth
and your typical Y-Gen 23 year old.

In the eyes of the world
I am an anime fan and self-acclaimed otaku with a library that outgrows my music collection
Though both are equally loved- if not the e-version of the former- with the suspiciously hidden tag of "BL" to hint at my healthy dose of internal struggles in this millennia...
Things could be different.

In short a reader who needs to go back to hardcopy books
and remember the feeling of being in love with the smell of old books and the pleasure of, at times, being unknowingly sapiosexual.

In the eyes of the world
I am a praiseworthy pupil: Never failed a class; Aware of why I'm sitting in this system for most of my youth.
My interests are wide and I chose by favor rather than market demand.

In short a voracious learner
with unlimited, untapped, potential.
If only I'd get off my lazy ass.

...

In the eyes of the world
A picky eater, lover of beauty and the arts, minimalist, dreamer, recently-labeled biromantic, and voyager seeking eternal satisfaction.
An artist.
An idler.

In short just Ann.
The girl who never changes.

Well, not really.
