MOTIVATION LETTER

when you enter a university,

you are asked to write an essay of motivation, 

where you  - obviously - need to mention your own diversity

in order to earn at least some kind of approbation

when you try to find a place, where you'll possibly fit 

in. when you try to prove that you're a right choice, albeit

you're not only not actually sure you are

it's more likely you don't have a clue. you're a scar

on someone's body and not even a full part of it.

so how can you possibly serenade to mysterious features that make you split

up between you and your so-called better self?

I'm not what you expect me to be

I don't want to let you put myself on a shelf

and decide, whether my social activity is enough.

I want to feel free

of all these boundaries and live a life,

where my place is waiting for me.

I have no strength left to strive
