You know, I said that we grew in happiness, ambitious possibility, and laughter.
I lied.
What really happened?
There are two sides of the same coin.
I self imposed personalities, but without confidence.
Time amplified my perception of life.
I feel high a lot of the time.
You tell me about the fragility of your confidence, and I really relate to that.
We came of age with the traditional loss and terrible manners.
I wish I weren't still the village joke.
I lied.
What really happened?
There are two sides of the same coin.
I self imposed personalities, but without confidence.
Time amplified my perception of life.
I feel high a lot of the time.
You tell me about the fragility of your confidence, and I really relate to that.
We came of age with the traditional loss and terrible manners.
I wish I weren't still the village joke.
This poem was originally a found poem, created out of words cut out from other texts and glued back onto a new sheet of paper. To me, found poems are about finding a hidden meaning that can exist in things as ordinary and every-day as grocery lists and thank you cards.
