Day: Aug 23, 2021

All the greatest facades have cracks if you look from the other side.

I get tired of playing an open book when I remember all those little things

That I must always hide.

No, you could never imagine the weight I carry behind my solar plexus.

My eyes pull you in but just you wait, one day you will see the darkness,

So gloomy, so reckless.

My well-kept secrets will keep me from ascending to the red throne.

I know that my own nature will keep me pinned down to the ground

Until I am sooty and alone.
