being yourself can come with a price
but not being yourself also costs
life can be a compromise with the ones you love
but how much are you willing to hide for the comfort of others
and who really benefits from the dimmer you
these questions and lessons are hard
but the universe won't let you skirt the perimeter forever

--Stephen Martin, 9/25/19
