you’re so // anonymous

You’re so brave. You introduce yourself with a handshake and a smile, and your voice doesn’t hitch at all. You tell people who you are like it’s nothing. Everyone sees you the way you are.

You’re so con dent.

You make the rst move. You don’t hesitate over the little things.

Everyone likes you.

You’re so strong. You got out of bed today.

You even le your house.

Some days you can even let yourself forget. You’re so happy.

When do I get to be you?

For I have

For the longest time, I have waited on the shore of a turbulent sea.

An unknown realm, with unknown creatures and faces. have heard the howling of the wind, the crash of the waves on rocks is I know the sea to be…

But never made it past the sand. Why do I falter? Do I fear the water to be cold, the ocean merciless?

But is it not also full of life with joys hidden below crystal blue waves?

Now the time is late, and a ship awaits to take me to a new realm of possibilities… ere is only the sound of us bawling

A dull streetlight casts its light onto the pavement e rain keeps on steadily falling

Hollow faces hidden away are so ly calling

Haughty laughter echoes from the basement ere is only the sound of us bawling

Cold ngers reach for the open air as the spiders

Floorboards creak to show their discontentment e rain keeps on steadily falling

A demon disguised in the dark is mauling

Reverberations of Hell are felt to the battlement ere is only the sound of us bawling e haunt is here, no time for stalling e rain keeps on steadily falling e lifeless body of a friend lies before us, its head

But how can we act when our deaths are imminent?

We shall soon join him in Hell, where we await ere is only the sound of us bawling e rain keeps on steadily falling pavement spiders are crawling discontentment
