I Can Just Be Me When I'm With You

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU KNOW WHO I AM IN REAL LIFE

 

 

 

When I’m with you, my heart is light.

I don’t feel the need to smile, smile, smile, laugh, laugh, laugh.

I can just be me.

And that feels amazing.

When we’re together, my smiles and laughter are genuine, not forced.

I don’t have to mince my words.

I can just be me.

I don’t worry that you only keep me around out of pity.

I don’t have to force myself to want to know everything you know about stuff I’m clueless about.

I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not.

I can just be me.

Yeah, I can just be me when I’m with You.

  • My Thoughts

    A thousand thoughts pounding into my head ALL THE TIME.

    Whirring past at a million miles per hour.

    Filling my head with noise.

    The world makes it louder.

  • Sometimes

    Sometimes I wonder about the person I seem to be.

    Is she truly me or someone else entirely?

    Is it real or just a mask?

    And if she's just a mask, then who am I?

    Am I surrounded by lights?

    Or shadows?
