This
mask I wear is not for me
But to
further sedate your sense of security
Ever
curious to see what lies beneath
Fixated
on the paradox that is me.
I
swing from both ends of the pendulum
Emotionally
unstable - ever shifting
The
outstretched corners of my lips
You
call a smile
I
consider the icing on this cake of lies.
I am
constantly reminded why I favor this solitude,
These
for walls in the space of my mind
Away
from pointless interactions
Or
needless social bonds
Built
on a constant need to break each other down
I am constantly
reminded why I retreat to my shell
And
leave the world to crumble
Patiently
waiting to watch it all burn.
Maybe
I half expect the disappointments that follow
And as
a result of this I never fully commit
To
express more than I can sacrifice in any relation
Because
at the end of the day
People
will be people
No.
Matter. What.
