Hello again

I'm sorry I haven't been writing as much
I've been ripping out a myriad of my musings
like petals from their flowers
crumpling them up & discarding them in a bin
overflowing with lies, malicia 
& stories I wish were truly mine
I'm sorry it took an eternity for me to reply
I've been trying to convince my shadow
to be my friend
so I will not remain lonely here at my new school

Every day I trip over my self-esteem 
& shatter my hope
Every other day I hide in a coffee shop
Just so someone I haven't disappointed yet can call out my name

I'm just going to be honest
It isn't going too well for me here
Don't abandon me
