sometimes i feel
that i'm propelled forward
by a powerful tide force behind me
yet i cannot control or steer
overwhelmingly strong
built of family empowering and friend support
and own expectations
and sickening perfectionism
i feel i am not the one
at the helm
at the tiller
common place to be
a viewpoint
maybe i should break free
drop the camera
trim those sails
and embrace the wind
