Typecast

As I drift through the day,
there are roles that I play.
Do I play them by nature,
or directed, on stage?

Always reticent, shy,
except when in class,
today, wake to find
I've been typecast.

I ask myself, all shift,
would it help--
to know who wrote the script,
the world?  Or myself?

  2. Thanks, man.

    I just realized how old this poem is. I still wasn't sure I belonged in school when I wrote it.
