I'm gonna do this....

I would be the girl
to hold your hand even though
everything felt like it was
failing.

Laugh at every dumb joke.
and oh no,
now i've given myself away.
if only you'd see.

But I surround myself with the blind
to make it easier to hide.
I'd do anything to make
you smile that smile,
the one you never turn
this way.


I am the best
at acting okay.

please look me in the eyes
and say that there isn't
anything here between us,
so I can
grow up
and realize I'll never be
enough.

Ok, so I really like this one. I've been there quite a few times, except the guy version of the situation...

I really liked "I am the best at acting okay."...sad feeling...

Very well put.

Yet another amazing piece. And I agree with the other two reviews exactly.

I also love, "But I surround myself with the blind/ to make it easier to hide." You have a way of conveying emotion and blunt honesty in a way that really captures people.

i agree...your work is so honest. almost uncomfortably so...it's fantastic.
i particularly loved the lines:
"But I surround myself with the blind
to make it easier to hide."

great job.

This is a very compeling piece. You open yourself up so very much, ungarded and unafraid. The purity of the thoughts and emotions conveyed are so frank and honest that, one can not help but to feel for you.
