Some people say

I’m too intense.

Or

that the decisions I make

don’t really make sense.

I have these ideas you see,

and I have a hard time explaining why they’re so important to me

(in a way that doesn’t scare them off, at least.)

But the great thing about this stage is -

Y’all are here for a performance.

You signed up for this shit!

So where does my intensity come from?

Well,

From realising what I should have known years ago -

We aren’t safe.

Nobody is.
