I hate romantic poetry
Because everything is a simile.
"Her eyes looked like stars"
"My heart ached like a broken bone".
No one speaks of feeling for what it really is,
Because no one really knows.
We hide our feelings and put on a facade for people to see
Because feeling is what humans have the most in common.
And we're afraid to have things in common
And getting too close.
So we disguise feeling as other things
Even when we are trying to be the most vulnerable.
I want to hear about the simplest descriptions
And the rawest senses
Because it's hard to understand when you're trying to be someone else.
I don't understand people or personality
Because personality is the best version of yourself
Not the mess version
And it's more likely to see the mess
Because that's who we really are.
Personality is the outline to your character
