Wait!
What?
Someone needs a hug
Not me, but somebody
flowery affirmations, and empty words of encouragement just aren’t cutting it
see that face in the mirror
that’s you
try accepting it
you’re a daisy if you do
anyway what’s it to you
when only the special few
know it’s true
held in check by fear
socially obligated to act like you care, life drowns here, suffocating the sleepless weary
walking in sun soaked dreary
dreaming dreadful dreams of dread, what are you hiding in your head?
Do I dare? Do I care?
My Magic 8 Ball says outcome unclear
Honestly, I’m horridly honest in my honesty, so do not look to me to feed your empty
I can tell you sincerely that even
draped in a catch 22 rigor mortis blue you’re always going to be you, no matter where you go or what you do…actually now that I’m thinking about it, I could probably use a hug too but only if its honest and honestly horrid through and through
