A professional liar

Shadows dance on the names we wear, 

hiding our true feelings deep down in our pockets. 

Hearing each other's footsteps as you walk downstage, 

sounds strangely nice. 

We're all actors, dressed up dancing our hearts out on stage. 

And yet, between the two worlds of acting and real, 

I feel as if they're the same now.

Something we toss back and forth as a form of relief,

from being somewhat a professional liar.

The days of acting will someday end, I know. 

But for now I'm going to embrace the days that we have now,

when we still don't know everything,

and it's perfect just how it is.

Waiting for the not-so-perfect tomorrow that's to come.

(I got inspo for this from the song Actor from SXF!)

  • 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.
