Life is like photography. We develop from the negatives.


If you really knew me,
you'd realize I'm in pain.
If you really knew me,
you'd know I'm hardly sane.

If you really knew me,
you'd know that I'm not perfect.
If you really knew me,
you'd know that I feel worthless.

If you really knew me,
you'd know how to make me smile.
If you really knew me,
you'd know how to make me feel worth while.

If you really know me,
you'd know about my past.
If you really knew me,
you'd help me make every moment last.

But you don't understand.
I feel like you barely know me at all.
I feel like you'd let me down.
I feel like you would let me fall.

This is a simple piece. Not super thought out, but I like it.
