Fill it up with repetition
till my fingers muscle into the memory
of a black and white prestige.

Fill it up with institutions
till my head grows bigger than its fancy hats
and papercuts define my lifelong stance.

Fill it up with superstition
till my doubts are camouflaged by GPAs
and volunteering becomes a grade of grace.

It's all about how the world sees me,
but it's never about me.

    So very, very true. We seem to paint this picture about our lives that we don't actually have one when in all fairness we do. Good job fella.

    A poem many could relate to i think, an interesting look at how we project ourselves and how we would like (hope) others to view us without really seeing us at all.
    A worthy nomination for the weekly competition
