is like a dreaming realist.

is like a walking contradiction.

is like having so much to live for yet wanting to die.

is like being told a lie and pretending you believe it.

is like having so much to say and saying nothing at all.

is like falling in love with the flowers and autumn comes.

is like coveting a happy marriage yet fearing commitment.

is like being surrounded by a sea of people yet feeling alone.

is like consoling a friend when you're falling apart on the inside.

is like seeing a flashing neon sign that says happy when you're sad.

is like the romantic in your nature and the cynic from your nurture.

is like the smile in your face partnered with the scars on your wrists.

is like knowing that nothing you do or avoid would make it better or worse.

is like wanting to hug someone and cry yet knowing that you would smile at whoever you chose to see.

is like sobbing in a movie theater of strangers and that's the most comfortable you've been around anyone.
