I can tell you some shit that’ll move you,
But I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.
I could tell you some shit that’ll make you cry.
But I think I’ll spare you.
This time.
So I’ll put on my mask to hide my tears.
I’ll “open up” and tell you all my fears.
The ones about heights & termites.
Not the deeper ones that’ll keep you up at night.
So come, laugh, play with me.
When they tell you about my depression, you still won’t see.
I’m an excellent actress.
I’ll have you distracted.
As I take my time putting together this deadly disaster.

I fell in love with poetry at the age of 8. I am now 24. It’s my passion, it flows easily. Hear me when I speak.
