ignore                                        
the marks, the stains
the pains
                                                pretend                                
i'm wiped clean
                                                               deleted                                          
off the screen
                                                                       conceal                                                                
my insecurities
                                                                 erase                                              
my disabilities
                                                                they hide                                  
my possibilities
                                                                    
  i only want them to  see                          
the better side

of me.

Everything seems            out           of                         place.
                                                
                                                                 The tears   i cry                                      
        
i now    disguise              
      
     being told

“you are not alone,”
                                                                                
Doesn’t keep me        

under control



have you got a clue?
                                                                what got you so blue?
how everyone else is perfect?
                                                                                                                                    unlike
you?
