I'm not allowed to speak on this poem as a psychologist.
It's not much of a poem, so I can't speak of it as a Critic without being an asshole.
What I will say is this, a man who doesn't believe in free will, :
Put your anger and fear and confusion into imagery, symbols, rhyme and rhythm.
Life is painful and people are stupid and are Authority.
Poetry is an Art. Don't let stupid dictate art.
Your artifice transcends and includes social-cultural reality. Use it! Be used by It. Still,use it.
to find myself and understand
who I am and for what to stand
the struggle magnified by my elders who
force upon me what is and isn't true
but I am no sheep, I question
Yes, and you are using rhyme and rhythm to validate your angst.
Fine. Don't do that if you don't want to.
Use poetic devises to redefine.
