If You Only Knew

surprisingly calm

i don't seem to care what reactions i provoke

re-evaluate and decide what's best for me

i need to be ok on my own for once

and not feel like half of me is gone

just because you are

maybe confidence problems should get together

maybe we can fix each other

maybe confidence is overrated just like you said

can i just be myself?

is that good enough for now

maybe i should try to get back there too

you lay it all out, call it down to a T

am i transparent, i thought i was being sneaky

you swoop in, from nowhere

and challenge me

to think different, act different, be different

some connections are too odd for people to understand

"no one sees me"

"if you only knew"

we all have that complex

the complex of not being able to see ourselves as others see us

our perception is distorted

leaving us with something less than to be desired
