No One Knows What I Really Look Like

But you don’t need to know

Because then you’d be worried

And I know how far you’d go

So I’ll keep my face buried

//

Then you won’t have to see

Any more than you should

And you can leave on the waves

Sailing on your ship of driftwood

//

Away from my salty smear

Finally flowing free

No longer stranded here

On the island of me

//

Because I don’t want anyone

To find what I’m hiding here

Go back where you came from

Go sail the blue sphere

//

I know you’ll find someone

Who deserves your company

Because I can tell you now that anyone else

Would be better than me

//

You won’t find what’s beneath the dirt

No matter how hard you try

Go away before I get hurt

Trying to look at you in the eye

It stings so much

//

Don’t look at me

Please

Stop

Go

Does it make you happy, seeing the tears I buried?
