ambition hides
ambition hides
behind the anxiety
the red light
dimmed behind the bushes
comfort is a familiar
outdoor cat that comes up
to the door, begging
for scraps
i was designed
to bust through
these walls around
my heart
not build them higher
tucked my features
behind cardboard cutouts
of emotions
hoping no one is
keeping a score
to a game i don’t
understand
