bare

I should be transcribing the story of my life.

 

Making you laugh at my silliness.

Having you consider

the reality of it all by relating to just you.

 

Telling that tired anecdote

that's too witty to give up,

but now is a sad catch phrase.

 

Having a bonding moment

with you over something I probably faked.

I need you to feel not just know

about my trials or tribulations.

 

I want to have an endearing trait.

I want to know that my noctivagant ways

won't turn you against me.

 

I'm a traitor, a fool

a sly emotional chameleon.

I am driven by fear,

gears spinning all of me pushing.

 

Pushing into a deep dark mental ravine.

 

I am everything you deem wrong

wrong for your world and perception.

No thinking just scheming

what feeling, just planning.

 

but here it is with masks off

with sound at full bore

images vividly provided

all you can do is consider

 

why am I

baring this for you...
