People go by
Unnoticed
Hidden behind what they have built
Everyone’s so far away
Distant
Glue couldn’t bring two together
Magnets turn dull
People don’t want to attract
Afraid they might be seen
Finally be held
Afraid of the touch
Deeper insecurities
Deeper hurt
Scratches deep beyond the flesh
Behind the veil you see
This is a temporary home
This is a temporary escape
I’m here to build myself
Find myself
Love myself
I haven’t been able to live
Afraid and absorbed in my temporary condition
But ill shed this one
My skin will lose its elasticity
My body will grow old and weak
And all i'll have is my memories,
My puzzled thoughts and feelings
