At the Thought of You [poems]

59. Me

"You're so smart!"

you don't know how many times I've cheated
throughout my school years

"You're really pretty!"

you don't know that I cover up my body with clothing and hide my face with my hair

"You're so funny!"

you don't know that I've stolen jokes from other people

"You're a perfect angel!"

oh but that isn't me, it's everything I want you to see, it's everything but me
