You Are Quite Different
December 6, 2021
Stop lying. Stop pretending.
Stop, stop, stop.
Start talking. Starting smiling.
Start, start, start.
I am but a burden to myself.
I am the darkness lurking.
I am barely holding on and I am suffocating.
You are perfection and you are alive.
You are my reflection.
You are treasure, yet hidden in plain sight.
