Napkins

Someone new is trying to hold me,

it's so foreign,

they are trying to take your place it seems,

but I think that's exactly what I need,

to look beyond this misery.

 

I feel confused,

am I happy?

Am I sad?

All I wanted was to become your family.

 

It seems that won't happen,

I clean up my spilled mess of emotions with napkins,

but they leak through,

Now I'm forced to paint this default smile back on again.

  • Sentence

    We live in a world we will never satisfy;

    bending and breaking til the day we die;

    just to seem worthy in societies eyes.

  • CONVENIENCE

    I hate that I am only loved when you feel like it,

    like I'm lovable but only when there is nothing better,

    you miss me but you just miss having me as an option,

    you wish I was there but only when nobody else is free.
