Hey, stranger

I catch glimpses of him in mirrors

That strange boy

He's so shy, but he's so loving 

Yet most treat him like a toy

 

He wanders the empty streets alone

No one can see him

He is there

But a chance at viewing him is slim

 

He puts on a dress,

Keeps his hair long

He hides who he is

Yet he knows he could belong 

 

The fear he carries is unmatched 

A sense of dread accompanies it

What if I'm wrong?

With those words, another fire is lit

 

If that one boy could see him,

He wouldn't be so afraid 

He wouldn't hide his face 

A new person would be made

  • Breaking out

    I step out into a cool summer night 

    The air fills my lungs and soothes my anxiety riddled body

    I walk out and feel the calm breeze on my torn up skin, wrapping around me like it's comforting my wounds

  • This is really goodbye

    I've grieved this relationship a million times, a million ways, yet it was always somehow easier because I knew you would come back. I knew how to play my cards so I could be assured that you were hooked as much as I am.
