Introductions
Hi my name is Megan.
It's nice to meet you.
I am really good at introductions.
I can convince you that
This can be real.
I'll laugh at your jokes
Tell you some generic story about my day
And end making you feel
like you really know me.
But passed that first greeting
You will begin to lose me.
I will fade
before you can even learn my middle name
I will drift.
Swept like a ball of dust behind your desk.
I… fooled you.
See there's something I forget to say when I first meet people.
Hi my name is Megan.
It's nice too meet you.
Oh and by the way
You will never get to know me.
See I'll start to push you away after today.
And yeah I'm not sure why,
I just have this thing.
I can't let you see me.
I don't want to expose the weak inside
because when I cry,
I feel my heart begins to die.
It kills to be vulnerable.
It drives me insane to know that you know,
more than I can even explain.
That my feelings mean something more
than just a lapse in stability.
You know I'm a strong girl.
I can fend for myself
I don't need you to be here.
I got this
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
I don't need your pity
or a pat on the back.
These tears can be wiped
by my own hand.
And don't you dare think
I need you.
Because I don't.
So this was nice.
Glad to see you
but you
can leave now.
Because any second more
is a waste of time.
I've already begun to runaway.
You know too much
and it scares me.
so yeah.
My name is Megan.
It's nice to have met you.
but Goodbye.
