Discrepancy

I lead a troubled life, inside

due to great discrepancy

in my head

between who I long to be

and who I am.

And the pressure built between temples

has proven to be a friend,

propelling the mind to new heights of comprehension

before pushing it off the edge.

Can I forfeit yet, would that be alright?

The sun that shines so mercurially for me 

will soon set.

The path that was never meant to be tread

will soon end.
