We are one in the same
Observing quietly unseen
Hidden in the corners
Sometimes in plain sight
We are misjudged
That irrational fear
Paralysing and frightful
Mistaken for evil
We are the saviours
More so than angels
Our appearance though
Induces hatred and terror
We remain shadows
Ever watchful and protecting.

Splitting, leaking what's left of me.

Pain
Longing

Its not going to yield.

Ever!

To forgiving, kind
Far to simple

Physically clasping
At that reality.

Universal promise
I will die for you!

Why?

Surely a promise of imortality
Is more meaningful.

Tomorrow she will
Strike accurate and brutal
It's the game, her rules.

There are so many...

the lies told to us...

as children.

everything works out for the best.

you have a great personality.

your not fat, you are just "big *****"

everything will look better in the morning.

of course there is a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy

you can do and be whatever you want to be.

most people are nice.

it was meant to be.

you are so pretty.

i'll call you sometime.

you have your whole life ahead of you.

you are so handsome.

it's not if you win or lose, it's how you play the game.

Why don't they just tell us the truth?

Overwhelming pride
Radiates ecstatically
Towards those relieved.
