I forget

everyone says I sparkle

everyone thinks I shine

all the attention thrown this way

yet, none of it is mine

hidden behind a fantasy

of everything I've always wanted to be

hidden in the depths of reality

caught up in the story that is me

not quite a tale of horror

not quite the fairy tale, too

leaves you with an empty feeling

story to hit the rail to

either way, i've lost myself

& what you see isn't what you get

because who I really am..

well, I forget.
