I hope this is okay, just felt like I needed to share.
My life
My friends
I love them
But they couldn't ever understand
They've never seen the real me.
Brushed off jokes--
and fake laughs
Ghosting by the real issues
Never letting them know what lies beneath.
They think they know me
They think they know how I'll react
No, they don't--
they never did.
Three people
My entire life--
have known me
And they've been my best friends.
Amber
My sister--
my best friend
My confidant--
and my savior.
Russell
A subtle understanding
Being there for me if I need it--
if I'll allow it.
Shane
He knows me best--
not even the fronting fools him
He always knows when something is wrong
No matter how much I try to avoid it.
Fronts
Smiles
Denials
This is my life.
