You and me

Look at me, 

Very quite popular.

Everybody sees me

But nobody knows the real me.

The facade I put on,

I just want them to like me

To not hate me with everything they have.

But-

Not showing the real me

Is exhausting

want to show them

me.

But if I do-

Will they think less of me?

Will they hate me?

What happens when

I get tired,

Of the same jokes

Pickup lines

People telling me,

That they wish they were me?

What do I say?

No,

I don’t want

you

To go through

The pain I go through

Every

Single

Day.

You don’t want to be

me

You should want to be

 you.

Be you 

With everything you have.

And I guess-

I’ll be me.

  • A Masterpiece in Binary

    I think there is a glitch in my processing unit; 

    when the letter 'A' enters the system, 

    it doesn't just register as a character—

    it spills out as a deep magenta that dyes the rest of the word.

     

  • Colors I hear

    Aimee Carty. 

    She's my favorite artist.

    Her name is a swirl of blue and pink in my mind,

    but her music-

    oh, her music is such a beautiful blend of all the colors you can name.
