Stumbling blindly through life.
You broke my heart Like you do anything else Effortlessly And unknowingly Because when on the inside I was crying All you could hear Was the joke on my lips And when on the inside I was dying All you could see Was the smile on my face

Behind the Mask
I lie in bed at night Wondering what it would be like If I were dead Not a very pleasant topic I know But important none the less See, I don’t particularly want to die In fact I quite like living But sometimes Sometimes you just wonder Would they cry? Would they share funny memories? Would they know which poem I want read? (It’s Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep) Would they miss me? And most importantly, Would they remember me? After a while Would they still think of me? Or would I become A faded memory That only comes up When looking through old photos It may sound selfish But I want them to remember me Every year on my birthday I want them to feel sad for a minute Because they miss me Is that reasonable of me? To want to be missed And remembered When I’m gone

I want to be remembered
‘It’s like you never feel anything’ I do You just can’t see it That’s a good thing Me keeping it inside That’s a good thing If you could get inside my head You'd see how I am a nervous wreck You'd see how each decision sends me in a frenzy You'd see how each morning I wake up terrified of what might come But luckily you don't I can't have you ruining my reputation after all

Conceal, don't feel
Is it worse to forget Or to be the one forgotten Should I pity my mother Because her mother forgot her Or pity my grandmother Because she doesn't know her own child Or should I pity none Because that is life That is the way life is You live, you forget Nothing is remembered in the end

You didn't
Every night I dream of you Of conversations we could have Of touches we could share But then when I see you All those dreams go away Because no matter what I imagine It all fades into nothing Compared to the reality of your smile

Your smile
Why do people insist on labels? Everything has to fit But what if it doesn't? What if I don't? The only thing that I can say is that I'm me Shouldn't that be enough? Shouldn't that make everything clear? Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! - Dr. Seuss I am me You are you And that is all No explanations needed

I think I might be in love with you I don't know I don't know how love feels All I know is how I feel And how I've never felt this before I think I might be in love with you I don't know I don't know how this goes But I'd like to find out Please let me find out

I think I might
As the pain pierced through the murky veil of indifference that surrounded her, she felt alive again.
