exceptionally gifted

the thing they don’t tell you about being exceptionally gifted is that it will take you an exceptionally long time to purge the falsehoods you clung to as fact

now I Am falling

fast

I Am confused

where did I stumble?

I didn’t stumble because the thing about being exceptionally gifted is that I Am the embodiment of anticipated outcomes

I account for anomalies. I don’t stumble.

now it doesn’t matter how many times I repeat these beliefs I committed to with my entirety, because I Am Falling.

and it’s painful

why can’t i feel the liberation inherent in a fall

there are no ridges or grooves to hold on

time no longer exists

no no no

time, timing, plans, planning, anomalies, i don’t stumble

stable, grounded, focused, direct

lost? who me?

I Am exceptionally gifted

I Am lost and I Am found

I Am exceptionally gifted
