Jabberwocky
Frumious Bandersnatch
Im intimidated by your intelligence, beauty, charisma
Your ability to make me feel again
Your radiating smile that outshines the envious sun.
I feel small, weak, insignificant compared to you
Like a child trying on his fathers oversized shoes.
An image I can never live up to.
Playing make believe on a grand scale
Pretending not to care
Pretending not to see you
Pretending I don’t love you
These pretenses keep me safe, help me to sleep at night
I paid my alms at the temple of misinformation
God numb my pain I pray thee.
Im a ball of confusion
Unraveling strings of insecurities
Convoluted emotions put on the back burner of life
Avoidance is my game of choice
A master at the age of 20
Setting up the pieces to go another 20 rounds
I create games, puzzles, lies to convince myself I hate you
Hate what you stand for
Hate what you do to me
Hate that I cant be you.
