confession

you could say
i lied
i am not like you
i wish i was

you could say
my message in a bottle
drifts across the sea
a quiet cry for help
no one will receive
no one will ever know
who i am

you could say
i am not myself
not yet
maybe not ever

an eagle
taught to be a sparrow
wings tucked tight
i ache for skies i should not touch

i stay hidden
it is easier that way
(is it not)

you could say
the truth remains
behind locked lips
stitched in silence

you could say
it is better this way

(im sorry)

  • the jester

    the jester wore a mask
    bright reds blues and yellow
    to remind those who were sad
    of happiness and delight
    he never stopped laughing
    afraid if he did there would be no jester anymore
    the jester and the princess

    invalid?

    time i saw

    you
