Oops

I'll say yes. And second guess. I lost myself. And I'm a mess. I want you. And want him too. But neither is right. Not sure what to do. Don't know where I've gone. Or what ever went wrong.

A lone gent sits on the bench, His face remains unnoticed, He blends casually into the crowd. Nothing about him is remarkable, His movements and actions are silent.

I'm one of those people who are quiet and keep there feelings in, and keep them in until I can't any more. Until I run into a room and search for pen and paper and them scribble to my hearts content.

Sleeping Beauty?

Would I like my face. If it belonged to someone else. I didn't see it in the mirror when I wake, or spend time listing its faults. If that person was more confident, would I admire their features.

Melancholy

#acrostic. Maybe it's time to ask for help. Engage with a stranger and say. Look just stand there and listen. And let me get this pain out. Nowadays the desolation wins. Chased by repeated nightmares.
