Plastic.

By Exodus

Just a little something



You are everything
That I am not

Fear not
You are not alone

It hurts me so much
To see you

Opened in disguise
Hiding yourself
Once more

Don’t walk away from me
As if I don’t exist

I gave you meaning

You have denied yourself
Of any flaws you have

Sold yourself
And excused yourself
Of any wrong doings

Its people like you
Who will never truly
Find themselves.

Who will never HAVE
meaning

    "I gave you meaning" that's interesting.We give others meaning by the meaning we give ourselves.Ex:"what would you be without people like me?"Nothing, that's what.We are the foundation, we hold the weight of society.

    "You have denied yourself /Of any flaws you have" - a comment against perfectionism? And you're right... you have to fall before you learn to walk...
