Me


I am

cheerful and repressed

brilliant and downplayed

I am highs and lows

a rollercoaster of happiness and anger and fear and joy.

I am the most loved person in the world and yet feel nothing from it.

I love fiction and poetry and movies and plays.

And yet,

with all of this defining me,

I am a ghost of a person, a shade of what should be.

I am me, Not you

but no one can see.
