illusions


you dont see it yet
maybe you never will
but i do
every glance, every glare, every eye roll, every comment, 
i see it all
i hear every noise too
every single thump, scratch, laugh, 
i can hear it all down here.

i can feel it all
every eye on me
every ghost hovering through
every entity watching,
breathing down my neck waiting to attack me

but ghosts aren't real.
and five people in one house is bound to be noisy.
and friends are allowed to fight.

so why does every glance,
every thump,
every presence
go straigh to my nervous head
and right through my anxious heart?

    picking up the pieces

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

    I constantly reflect everything and everyone

    daydreamers like to envision a new world

    one where every cog in the machine does its job

    we get tired of being the mirror
