i still feel like i’m trapped in my house
not allowed to go out
not suitable for other human’s consumption
and i want to need to wait
a bit
longer to be permitted to rejoin the human race

~~~

unknown what to write
what to even think about
when my morning has been going
a certain way for a week, and now goes
a completely
different route

[i hate that i need consistency]

~~~

puppeteering
and back to singing
and in a show again
and pride-month dancing
and still i have no idea
if i even want to be perceived
in front of an audience
at this stage in my life
or not

i don’t understand
how to be a person
interacting with other people.

i kind of understand
how to be a person
interacting with one other person,

and i kind of understand
how to be a me
interacting with only myself;

but multiple others???

i either am too loud
or too quiet
or too uncomfortable to do anything else—
so…what does that mean?

does that make me less of a person?
or more?
does it make me an introvert?
does it make me socially anxious?
or simply anxious all the time?
is my perception of myself based on how little others can perceive me?
or is it something else entirely?

or are these all questions
that only i can answer
for myself/
accurately
?
