comfort
hope
love
peace
serenity
the emotions they make me feel

a home that is lost
a heart that is broken
a mind that needs an escape

they will never truly know me
they will never truly meet me

but the people behind the screen
they are my favourite
because

they can never judge me
they can never leave me

yes they cannot hold me
and they may not feed me

but they
they are why im here today
they are why i wake up
they are people who i support
wholeheartedly

i dedicate my time
myself
for the people that will never come to know my name
and boy when i tell you im proud

proud of them
proud of their achievements
proud of the people theyve become

when i tell you im happy

happy that theyre happy
happy they found peace
happy theyre doing what they love

but for me

an escape
a breath of fresh air
and finally,
the summer birds usually too fast flown away
are really here to stay

they warm my heart in more ways than one
sometimes providing comfort
tangible people and objects that surround me cannot even begin to provide me with

this is what i love
this is what i enjoy

and not the made up stories
the stories youll find on everyones liked videos page

these are the real stories
of real people
that are going out
and continuously inspiring those
around them

those who are far
whether youre near or in a different space completely
these are boundaries they are
breaking

touch my heart
touch my soul
touch my being

this is not a persona
this is me
me
who was lost
me
who got found
me
who was afraid
me
who is now brave

me who has people
people that i can turn to
people that ive never met
but provide me with security

the security ive only ever gotten from myself
the kind of security only you can give yourself
and you stand there and wonder
how the hell
these people
were able to mimic it to a t

people who dont know you
peopel who dont know your likes or dislikes
but its not both ways
because you know everything about them

believe in those
they believe in you
the masses believe in them

let us believe in each other

sometimes im so tired
i just need a break
i mean really
call me a stray kid the way im ssick of yall
sometimes

sometimes the people behind the screen
is the only place you want those to remain
the only way you want to refer to them,
not really sure, but you want to meet them
though at the same time you dont

really
sometimes the only they should remain
just
people behind the screen.
