#unattractive
I used to hate mosquitos. The way the itchiness keeps me on my toes And the way the rash grows As I live with a doze But at least they need me. At least they craved for me. At least they're attracted to me. Unlike everybody else.

mosquitos
It’s okay, I only cry sometimes, I lie, Because being honest and admitting to Days filled with endless tears is Unattractive And nobody likes a weak girl with wet eyes Tears mean Instability In the eyes of stones who masquerade As human beings. It’s okay, I only cry sometimes, I say, Like when reading a book and it hits me Harder than expected Like on drunken nights when I’m lonely and My past haunts me Like the times when I’m really, truly, kind of Very happy Or when I’m numb to everything And sometimes when nothing at all has happened but I’m still moody But it’s okay, because honestly, I only cry sometimes.
