Mirage
Why is nothing permanent?
The friendships i’ve lost and the self respect that's slowly diminishing into dust
Tiny, miniscule dust
It fades away after a day or two
I act like i’ve moved on but no one has seen
They haven’t seen the true me and I plan to keep it that way.
The true me doesn’t contradict
The true me doesn’t stay inside the lines
The true me doesn’t overthink
The true me should forget and move on,
Be the little ray of sunshine that everyone expects
The true me would meet society’s expectations
But as I’m writing this I realize that the “true” me doesn’t really exist.
It’s what society expects out of me.
