I am fibers of great expectations
cut of cloth
pigeon holed
held down
the status quo
Patterns of educators
mentors
siblings
friends
and lovers
Reasonable facsimiles
of those gone before
Stitched from the womb
by my parents design
Traveling grooves cut by
culture
religion
western civilization
and gender. . .
I am a constructed self

Yearn
the tug of another direction
A fork in the road
toward the path traveled less
Feast
on the fears of an uncharted journey
Signless
travel alone
One step
then another
No
"follow"
just a faithful
"go forward"
and hope

There is a design
I am convinced
Divine
and a way
passionate
toward
Self construction

When I was younger I felt this way a lot more. I like the arrangement of this, and the language-choices. It's well-crafted.
