Lies I Used to Tell Myself

If I disappear,
If I'm gone,
All you'll remember is a type of mirage.
You'll sentimentalize who I was, and every little moment we had.
Take away everything rotten
Forget the scars you saw
And all the times I cried.
You'd turn me into everything I'm not.

I don't have a safe place,
A second home,
But I also don't have many people close to me.
People I'm comfortable around,
Those I can be myself around,
I'm always, walking on eggshells.

I've started to just not care, and end up sounding stupid.
I think I got sidetracked.
