Explain Yourself

They made me explain myself
I tried to deny
Held out for the longest time
But they pried and pried

So I resided
Tired and left spent, beside myself
A bit blindsided by incitement
So I described myself

Trying to illustrate
Define something I can't fully frame
Words don't just articulate
Ones inner landscape

Yet I prated and prattled along
With comical chaos
Consciously aware
Of my incoherent monolog

Obviously a lost cause
Which I've known all along, yet
Somehow I thought 
I could make them comprehend

I was wrong, all lost on them
How they've got me pegged
Based on discrepancies
Fully lost in translation

Now they define who I ought to be
Foresaw they should foresee
My flaws and anxieties
To sell me on what I need

At no cost will I follow their lead
Keep your individuality
Just be who you are
No need to explain a thing to me.
