Nothing Special

Hey guys this is my piece for this week. I got the inspiration for this piece from my old friend. We have been best friends for two years and she stopped talking to me about three weeks ago and I don't know why. I felt really hurt and like I had no one to turn to because this is the first time this has ever happened to me. I know we have all had hard times and I encourage you to comment and tell me about it because it always seems to help when you have someone to talk to. I love you guys. :) Thank you.

Nothing special

Nothing special

Just me

Sitting in this dark cave

Finding shards of rock I begin

I begin building my wall

My protection

I am not made of stone

Like you

Blood runs through my veins

Anger rages

And if you drop me I break

I'm not different than you

Physically.

Mentally I can see the truth

Just a little too late

Too late to get the heart to pull back

See who you really were

That mask is your disguise

Your lie

You played it well

I believed you

Then you left

Leaving your broken mask behind

For years it collected your lies

Without it I can see the truth

Your truth.

You're nothing special

Just another mask
