Substance

Filled with substance,

Never know who I’ll be next -
A person in disguise

Like the back of an earring,
Lost in the fibers

Unsure of what thought comes next -

But I feel more aware,

Yet still so alone -
Misunderstood,

Substance,
You’ve held me so tight.
Made me feel safe

But without you, it’s so much clearer
I cannot replace,
I must escape
And learn to live without you
