Know Me

If you really knew me,
you'd know that I hate myself
that behind the music of my conceited mind
the heart strums a separate tune
like the secrets of self hate an image
behind a broken mirror
glued together with tears
if you really knew me,
you'd know that I hate who I am.
I hate that my mind knows what is right
and what is wrong
yet I choose the rocky path to go along
and every rock is another bad decision made
until I decide to turn around when its too late
but if you really knew me,
you'd know that I sit at a small round table
just above my hell
surviving only with EarlGreyTea and poetry
coping, desperately hoping, that my fragile plastic chair wont break
so until you really know me,
shut the **** up

there is a tone in the air
I breathe it in deep
and say a quick prayer
so that I might fall asleep

there is a noise in my ear
that is constantly humming
filling me with a fear
to which I am succumbing

there is a thought in my head
of what happens in the sea
as tears are being shed
as my weaknesses call to me

Mother, can you not see
That the pressure you put onto me
Weighs me down each day like a tonne of bricks
And tugs at my insecurities
You want me to be perfect, for image is everything
And since I am not perfect
I guess I am
fake
I guess I am worthless
I pretend to be happy, I pretend to be smart
I pretend to be talented...
But I am a failure at heart
I am a failure to myself
For if I were anyone else
I would be so much more perfect
By just being real
For real things are worth it.

there's a candid
shot of you at the
picnic point beach
when i told you to
turn around and you
smiled as you did with
the water framing your
shoulders.
