When you can't describe how you feel.
You lie, nod it off, don't tell anyone what's real.
You smile, you hide, you never cry.
Like I said before, you're caught in a lie.
You laugh, chuckle and cheer.
You say you're fine but your makeup is smeared.
You don't have a right to make yourself disappear.
If you need help, know that I'm always here.
You don't have to be royalty to sit on a throne.
You don't have to sit in the corner alone.
I'm just a text away, a contact on your phone.
Every time you lie, your words come back to haunt you.
You don't have to say that things are going great for you.
I see it in all the little things you do.
Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me worse than I've hurt myself.
Learned from my mistakes, I'm not like anyone else.
You're so smart and beautiful, you don't deserve pain.
I'll try to be your umbrella under all this rain.
I'm terrified that I might hurt you in the process.
Fearful that I'll never be good enough for you. What if I mess with your emotions? What if I stop your heart's motion?
I've done it before, what if I do it some more?
Maybe it'll be better if we just stay friends.

Complexity
PoetryA poem collection. These.. mean a lot to me. "Complexity is being me, not knowing who you'll really be, knowing you'll have to wait and see."
