Those Few Words


Those Few Words

Sympathetic, concealed, queer, placid,Cautious, detached, casual, guarded

Just descriptive words, nothing to them. Those few words are what make me;

I am the voice and face behind them. A barrier is put up, not showing others

The real and emotiona person inside. Those few words are filtered and cropped

To fit into a socially acceptable version. Until they become nothing, nothing but

A blurred and perfected face put in a Nice outfit, with some inane caption.

Warped with some effect used To make it seem like they are perfect,

That they're a model without impeections. I am not the prettiest nor the most outgoing,

I am carefu of my words and actions. Afraid of messing up and not living,

Not living up to the great expectations that are Associated towards me and by being compared

To my best friend and not appeciated For the person i am and chose to be.

Those few words are the unfiltered version of me.
