weltschmerz

Insecurities

On days like these I think I might

Become a lacewing and take flight

I wouldn\'t hurt so frightfully

From how I think people see me 

 

A villain who deceives with wings 

Talks waterfalls of useless things 

Spills over glasses and fine china 

No pair of ears is enough for her 

 

Inflammatory fifth wheel wannabe

Heartbroken self-sufficient crybaby 

Altruistic vengeful record-keeper 

Naive all-creatures-loving daydreamer

 

I must know

Does my desire to be kind 

Translate beyond

My scattered mind?
