I
I do not have to get this right
I do not have to anything
I do not have to have
I only have to be
I only ever am
All the times I thought I had to be more
All the times I thought I was less
All the times I thought and fought over what I thought
My doing to prove
My doing to win
My doing to do
My doing was my undoing
One day, my doing was undone
My life was just to breathe
My life was just to beat
My life was just to be
My heart was born to beat
My hair was made to grow
My cells were born to age
My eyes were born to see
My skin was born to touch
My life was made to live
My life was made one day to die
I do not have to get this right
I do not have to anything
I only ever am
I am free to think
I am free to feel
I am free to fail
I am free to create
I am free to build walls
I am free to burn bridges
From my inner darkened soul
From my outer imperfections
From my inner fearful dreams
From my outer greying light
From my inner misan-thrope
From my other stretch-ed skin
I do not have to not have to get this right
