Today I feel alright
even though preparing
for the day was a fight.

in the dark
all alone
it's the only time
i let you out
where no one
will see you
and your sounds
won't be heard

I have this thing with the sky
it's a pretty intimate relationship.
It helps me plan my day and
every morning we play peekaboo.
The first time I realized our relationship
it was bittersweet.
It started off sunny and then it ******* rained!

"You have your whole life ahead of you."
Never knew that one sentence
could hold so much weight.
Crushing weight that makes me crumble
and struggle to face the day.
Knowing underneath that sentence
lies expectations for what I can accomplish.
The pressure is on and it's getting hot in
this enclosed space called expectations.

Hypnotizing eyes
leading me to my demise
but still I follow
because I'm blinded.
Blinded by love, lust and fear
it's comical really.
Never understanding my feelings
yet wanting to express something
just to make you stay
and take a second look at me.
It saddens me knowing
there's nothing I can do
for you to embrace me.
So still I hide even though all I want
is for you to notice me.
