authenticity
the most authenic version of me
is the one
hanging out with my friends at three in the morning
laughing
talking
being ourselves
listening to pop punk and eating cookies,
and telling lame jokes.
our hair in buns,
our mascara smeared,
our shirts h

loosely from our bodies
we talk about boys
and bands
and the future.
that is the real me.
the one early in the morning, laughing and smiling with my best friends
