The Fault In Our Minds
Salt and sea breeze rubbed against my skin,
The soul left my lungs to inherit it’s win.
I looked around and found aesthetics in the dark,
Captured in polaroids , memorising my own heart.
The reality is what I don’t allow them to see,
It’s covered in stardust, saved only for me.
It took me a while to realise what it meant,
How the waves swept , how dauntless i felt.
They’d hate you for what you’ve been,
Leaving the possible reasons unseen.
Forgetting all of what you’ve ever built,
Calling it a facade , giving you the guilt.
When the wall collapses, it destructs both sides,
Something they won’t know; they’re too busy counting the lies.
How do you teach the stars to shine in sun’s presence?
That’s when you walk away, accepting their absence.
Returning to your own skies, creating your own reality,
Understand that it’s a beautiful vitality.
