Yeast

My life, to this point

Has been a series of puzzles

All seemingly different

But in essence, the same

Collected together

They all ask one question

Who am I now?

And who was I then?

For the first half of life

I built a persona

So people could judge me

And see that I’m great

But now that I’m older

I’ve let slip the mask

Learnt from my follies

And embraced my mistakes

The problem is now

That I’m ever so humble

And regret to inform

I’m much better than you

Thoughts

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is put your phone down, go outside and have a walk.
