Myself

I shun my friends, whom I hang out with every single day

With myself I want to be today

I shun them and towards solitude I run

I sit alone, let the real me take over and stay

I shun the fake mask, at everybody which smiles

Even though it cannot take them anymore

I shun the tongue, which addresses politely, imparts gentle talks, tells lies

It wants to abuse everyone, insult, release the furore

I shun the eyes, which glimmer with happiness

And let the tears take over instead

I shun the light, which exposes me, makes me a vulnerable mess

And weep in the lovely, seclusive darkness.

So I shun the social creature, who tries to please each and everyone

I become the 17 year old, wanting to give some time to him self

I shun the friend, the classmate, the jolly, joking person

And today, I become myself
