Never Catch Me

Tell Me

Tell me who I am again

Tell me who I'm supposed to be

maybe we can be

Maybe I can be

Who you need me to be

Yep I'm actually talking to you

It's me not some poet or

Some girl you met online

Who you talk to every once in awhile

It's me saying this

So don't tell me who

I'm supposed to be

Maybe I don't want to be perfect

Maybe I don't want to be okay

Maybe I don't want you to like me

Maybe I don't want your opinion

Maybe I don't want to be a good kid

Maybe I don't want to be strong

Maybe I don't want to be 'nice'

Maybe I just want to hide behind this mask

Until I get up the courage to say all that

As myself

But until then I guess

We can wait together in this

Same old same old

Shroud of loneliness because

It's weird how no one knows me

It's weird that every time I laugh so hard I can't breathe

I don't want to breathe again 

It's weird that every time I smile

I imagine that same face buried 

It's weird how I don't care anymore

I don't care so much that I hardly want to finish this poem

And you know what?

I'm glad.

Cause that's just who I am.
