do I have your attention?
my mind is not of this dimension,
I must've forgot to mention.
okay, listen. I'll explain.
most days I feign being okay.
it's something I've always done.
I learned the hard way when I was young.
people see what they want to see
so I give them a show masterfully.
I'm an actress by now and I don't know how much longer i can hold on before i completely lose myself.
i need it, but I'll never ask for help.
so forget that.
my thoughts are under attack.
an enemy you can't see.
but believe me, it's right here.
though you cannot, I can see it all too clear. I'm weary and teary eyed. alone all night, too tired to cry.
questions of 'why' linger in my mind.
no answers just a land where
the violence is still alive.
