Attrition

Unsteady notions caused by cliches
Divergence is inevitable

Re-embrace authenticity
Denounce the voice of confusion
Intuitive minds remain unaltered
Channel resilience of our youthful past adjusting
Still settling for less

Doubt sowed from within our enigmatic selections

Only breeds more exasperation
(Maladjusted and distrustful of my)
Circumstances
Altered their supposition open

Disengaged and engrossed in my self indulgent endeavors
Newfound alterations

Ambivalent at first
Willing to see beyond limitations
Bittersweet connection
Inspiration's detrimental amnesty
Reformed my perception
Expectations overflowed verity

Evading opportunities to be heard by untold accounts of legacy
Substance aggrieved by evaluations
Faced with instability

Delusions that affirmed my worth enabled design
Now desperate for resurgence
Validation used to ease anxiety
Self-realization comes with persistence
Bear the fruit of indecision

Constant severing ties yet afraid of abandonment
Repression's interfering appeal
Remain self reliant when faced with discontentment
Striving to be master of none
Unashamed of my rightful place
(Thoughts racing in this seemingly empty vessel
While I struggle to secure fleeting moments of contentment
Anecdotes garnered over time are the root of our fruition
Faced with instability prescribed
Erosion)
