Careless
March 3, 2017
I was out with my friends
They were talking on and on
I was sitting there
Listening to their empty conversations
My friends teased me
saying that I am silent, blend in the background
Deep in my heart,
I don’t care what they are talking about
I feel tired when they are talking
when they are screaming with excitement
To avoid them seeing the true me
I wear a mask, to camouflage
to hide my real thoughts
Lying
Has become a protection
From the darkness that no one sees
They don’t know the true me
When they are so careless
How will they know what I’m thinking
When they don’t try to understand me?
