I was unfamiliar with my identity,
Unfamiliar with the half-understood conversations,
I was in beginner’s territory,
A place I had only heard about in campfire story-telling,
A brutal rat-race of competition and soul-sucking,
My motivation to see it through got less and less,
But strong-armed by people-pleasing, I pressed on,
Making light of my anxiety…
