Sometimes

Sometimes, 
people aren't who they seem. 
Sometimes, 
you trust some one so much, 
the fall is almost unbearable. 
But sometimes, 
it turns out you didn't even fall. 
Sometimes you have to put yourself out there.
Sometimes that reveals someone for who they really are, 
and sometimes, 
it reveals someone as who they really aren't. 

Sometimes, 
you have to forget about all the sometimeses 
focus on something the definitely isn't a sometimes. 
Sometimes, that's hard. 
Only sometimes, 
it turns out a-okay. 

It's a good thing that all this only happens sometimes. 

Fake

Inside I might be crying,
as I laugh at what you say.
You might not understand
the confidence you take away. 
Outside I might be smiling, 
grinning with all my might. 
But I may go home and sit in bed, 
crying through the night. 
"It's a-okay" could be the words
of someone lost and lonely. 
"I'm great" was never seen to me
as something oh-so phony. 

But it's all fine, they tell you so. 

So don't go home and cry.

Just remember outside

is the layer of all lies. 

Normal

Normal is not just a word, 

its not even a state, 

Normal just so happens to be

a very large place.
