Stranger to Myself
Folder:
Personal- Melancholy I’m trespassing
Into dangerous territory
And I hope it’s only transitory
Because I don’t want to
Becoming familiarized
With being ostracized
From society.
I’m tiptoeing
In this unwelcoming place
Where no one recognizes my face
Because I don’t want to
Take off this mask I wear
Unable to become bare
To society.
I’m televising
Edited versions of myself
While the real me resides on a shelf
Because I don’t want to
Show my unappealing side
So I just continue to hide
From society.
I’m translating
Into understood terminology
Despite my unexplainable psychology
Because I want to
Settle into a comfortable home
Where I am not unknown
To society.
