Poetry Is Just Another

Another way to cope
To hide the pain, to learn
Does it even really matter
That we do not know my name?

Another front to hide behind
Pretend you’re someone new
With emotions alternate  
Than crestfallen, pretend I love me too 

But you’re a lifeguard with your words
Saving little things
And pieces of my life I lost
In another mechanism
