Little Lies

I thought I was an extrovert- 

I'm not. 

I can't talk to somebody unless they approach me first.

 So I don't correct when somebody says something that's wrong, 

I let them believe something that isn't true

 because I can't speak up for myself. 

That's a lie. I would speak up. 

But I've been taught not to because my opinion doesn't matter. 

Even if it's fact about myself.

 I used to be loud. 

And I still am,

 just only around certain people. 

The one time I corrected somebody 

when they said something wrong,

they didn't believe me; 

until somebody else backed me up. 

But I think they still hold a spot in their mind f

or something that was never true. 

Because they would rather try to believe a lie that they spent so long thinking was true-

 than admit they were wrong.

  • Useless

    Is it really?

    Is writing just a waste of my time, 

    and a waste of time for others to read?

    Is writing this here now, 

    is it really useless?

    According to some people it is.

  • My mirror

    You,

    my mirror,

    my other half,

    my dark side.

    We look the same.

    But in no way are we alike.

    We're like two halves, 

    of the same coin.

    But you-

    are my worst regret.
