I was doing well for a while
I was eating
I was sleeping
I was here
present

I was doing well for a while
I was here
I was aware
too aware
too present

truth is that I was never well
truth is that I put on airs
bandaids and cloaks
masks and makeup
diets and disguises

it's temporary
it's all temporary

how do i become permanent
