Lies
You never know by just looking at people what's really going on with them. That happy couple isn't so happy. They have secrets, they tell lies. She writes pretty words and shares beautiful pictures telling the world that their lives together are perfect. Look behind their smiles. Look into their eyes. Can you see it? the sadness? Can you see the hurt behind her smile? Can you feel the sorrow in his heart? His eyes wander, looking for, an escape. He reaches out to strangers with his soft spoken words. Trying to fill the hole in his soul. You never really know what's going on with anyone, so smile and remember they are just like you. Looking for love. Looking for happiness.
training wheels
I fell for a boy
with a hummingbird heart
and hands the same size as mine
I fell for a boy
anxious with prescriptions
meant to focus his brain
with shifty eyes and skin on fire
I fell for a boy
who made me realize
my whole life I've been flightless
who showed me my wings
even though he knew
they'd take me away from him
I'm in love with a boy
with a steady chest
whose hands are still my size
I'm in love with a boy
free from the drugs that lit the flames
with a steady gaze and softened face
I'm in love with a boy
allowing me to fly away
because he knows I feel his pain
but I just can't stay here in this place
