when we sit in the shade
from the burning sun on the
autumn afternoon, listening
to the children hunt for eggs,
all i can think is that you all
belong here.
i am the imposter, i can feel that they know. your jokes are all funny and i can't find the energy to laugh.
i don't want to be here, i hate 'family lunch'es, i hate pretending to be alright when i just want to sit in my room, alone.
family is always priority for me,
but i cannot place them in my life.
so we sit, laughing with all your loved ones,
and i pretend not to feel alone.

i dont think i'll see 2022 if things carry on this way.
