Vain

Dakota

I think about it, about it all.

A long time of me trying to reach me and I’m ignoring the call. 

I wanna forget I wanna be a good guy with a powerful mind but now days seems we need a gun at our hip. 

But I live behind a smile that I think kills hate, so typical and hypocritical cause the the same smile I give the world the one looking back at my and I hate all things fake. 

It’s me vs me and l cant forget, however easy to forgive others. 

I see through a lot of lies and just roll with the punches like kids scared we’re all just hiding under the covers. 

Im a wreck I’m alone in space I’m just every where like these words just all over the place. 

I hear them talk I listen and I try to put myself in their position. 

However I wake up and there’s in empty place in my chest there was a demolition. 

Fake smile causes crapped jaws and sometimes I need to be alone but company doesn’t feel so bad can I just press pause. 

The one thing things can’t do it stop I just need a second.

    there is real potential in your writing
    (in my humble opinion)
    it just, feels like
    you're writing these lines
    as if, you're talking to yourself
    and sadly
    we, the rest of the world
    aren't: clever enough, to understand
    your meaning
    unless, you make it a little clearer for us
    'But I live behind a smile
    that I think kills hate,
    so typical and hypocritical
    cause the the same smile I give the world
    the one looking back at my
    and I hate all things fake.'
    still, thank you for sharing
    an interesting read
    (this was meant to be an encouraging comment
    please, forgive me
    if you find it rude or offensive, in any way;
    just in case: I's gladly apologise, sincerely
    in advance)
