In the World, but Not of the World - Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

I wake up from the apathetic night

Every time I push things

Of knowing everything and keeping a routine

I tried to put life in

Everything I touch, it wants to be seen

And carried forth, just like jewelry

Give it a reason to feel the view

I love it when I think I knew something and then

I find out that it’s the opposite, I’m

Always finding myself in love with

Contradicting myself

It’s what I thrive on

To surprise myself again

I wake up from the apathetic night

Every time I push things

Of knowing everything and keeping a routine

I tried to put life in

Everything I touch, it wants to be seen

And carried forth, just like jewelry

Give it a reason to feel the view

I love it when I think I knew something and then

I find out that it’s the opposite, I’m

Always finding myself in love with

Contradicting myself

It’s what I thrive on

To surprise myself again
