something steady-- I dont like this

some days
I feel the weight of myself.

And I never see waves of introspection
coming toward the shore of my livelihood. 

self-examination can be crippling,
inescapable--
like being stuck in
the trappings of a
kaleidoscope--
which part is the mirror?

I am not a person who
lets go of things too easily.
I am not a person who
asks for things she needs,
in the right way.
I am not a person who
knows me, as well as I want to.

Maybe I don't need to tell anyone who I am.

Sometimes I just need the sound of something steady, 
like trickling rain on the pavement, 
like a song with no words.
Let the rest all come easy.
Does a snake need to think about shedding his skin,
or a chick about breaking free from the shell?
