Identity
She was everything at once.
the calm and the calamity
the logical and the impracticality
the equable and the whimsicality
destined for greatness, yet destined to fall
She was everything at once.
She was tried at every turn
and she kept going
she stared into the eyes of the devil himself
and she ran away with his power
She was everything at once, but still had her faults.
she was tried at every turn
and she cried after every battle
she stared into the eyes of the devil himself
but soon realized she couldn't handle the power
She was everything at once, until it wasn't enough.
so she tried to run from her problems
but you can't run from yourself
so she tried to fight her problems
but you can't fight yourself either
She was everything at once, but she couldn't be herself.

This poem is about the struggles of being a perfect person, but to only find out that being perfect isn't being yourself. We're all human at the end of the day and need to realize that being us is more important than being the perfect person. As much as you want to be perfect, you can't run away from yourself because at the end of the day, under all of the fake, you're all you have left, and you're not perfect.
