Description
I'm doing it again,disappearing into myself
hiding from all these people.
Words protective covering
against this scrutiny.
Putting myself in places
the eyes skim over -
I don't want to be
noticed - stillness says -
"Leave me alone."
But still they come
caring, kind, teasing
playful, concerned
What I need but don't
want - beautiful people.
I equal parts want
to be here - but don't
I'm in love, but in hate,
I want to stay, but home -
It calls me!
You are the only reason
I stay.
I can't breathe without you
You know how I feel -
I don't belong here.
But your desire for me
to fit in, be accepted
holds me tighter than
any
of my own desires.
Even though I feel
a million miles away
like you and I are
stuck on different planets -
you're oblivious to me.
Please - you've got to
help me through this
somehow - I don't know
how - but this I can't do
on my own.
