Lost

I love being somewhere new, somewhere where I’m feeling less blue. A place where I can be whoever I want, nobody knowing who I am, simply not giving a damn. I like old buildings, new art, large crowds, local shops, evening walks, and listening to people talk. The feeling of not knowing what is going to happen at night, the excitement, the curiosity. Every night is different, perhaps I’ll be belligerent. Perhaps Ill cover up where I bleed, because I’m ready to be everything you need. I explore my way through the city looking pretty, but I am drowning in self-pity. There’s no simplicity of just being me, but soon you’ll fall in love with me. Although I am a sensitive soul with a bold mind, my heart is blind. I fit in everywhere in this city, but it’s just because I am tricky. I always have a get-away key, because I am always ready to flee. I can be your light for one moment, and your fright the next, It is complex.

Who I once was

In search of something to ground me

I found something that drowned me

Every face I saw I wanted to make smile

Little did I know my own self love would be on trial

The light inside of me eventually turned into a fright, nothing I saw was at all daylight
