The version of me you never met
Was the best secret that I ever kept

False smiles and a witty joke
You'll never see past the positivity cloak

Why would I tell you I'm not fine
When you don't let me in your mind

Hair up and makeup done
You'll never see me in the evening sun

Meals prepped, trash stashed away
You hear only what I want to say

Even this account is best kept private
If you knew my truth, you'd never survive it

I bought a Ouija board
on impulse, to contact you.
Then I remembered:
for you, unlike me,
there was life after love.
Deja 2d
would I sit and immerse myself in it's warmth or choose to be alone in it's presence? Would I accept her hands wrapping around my body in the still silence? Or would I coldly reject him and mope when he says nothing at all?
I am trying to sit with myself more. If you are confused about my pronoun usage, I am genderfluid and I use all of these. I think they work for how i feel towards my emotional (sometimes spiritual) self vs my physical self and how I project that self onto others vs what's happening outside of my mind. I hope this poem makes sense even if you aren't genderqueer.

This can be good or bad. Not even God knows what will happen this time.
im trying to apologize to someone I hurt. he hasn't responded yet and the suspense is killing me. regardless of his answer, I'll be glad if he does.
