Human

by Cameron Lockett

I present myself to you

In my most basic form

I’m just a man

The accolades behind me, the thoughts of a perfectionist in me, a future filled with potential before me

A big ego paired with a smart mouth

I’m a man who’s told he’s destined for things… but I’m still a man

I overwork, I’m sad, I constantly feel like I’m not good enough, I strive for satisfaction, but I fear I’ll never reach it or be comfortable in it

I try to hide my imperfections because all I like to show are finished goods

But the thing is I am a finished good, just don’t know if I’m good enough
