The things they encourage in us are not what they see
In us
But they successfully amp up our volume to be
Subjects
For what they hear through themselves.
We might exemplify it well (the notions they carry)
But underneath these talents are what we keep buried
What haven't we shown them?
What are we practicing
With less consistency because their praise is distracting?
Even though we don't know how to share
We musn't lose sensitivity for this art we've prepared
Under their very noses
And we must also learn
Not to become them when it is our turn.

Thank you for commenting! If anything I've said is unclear, I appreciate hearing from you so that I might clarify. However, I ask that you please refrain from profanity… it gives me bad dreams.
