All we were
—I said to myself
as I look into a mirror—
is a person who smiles
to hide all sorts of pain
they have to live through

All we were
—I uttered to
the restless heart
within me—
is someone who
thought it is fine
to empty themselves
into a bottomless
chasm of want

All we were
—I whisper to
my soul searching
for something
within me—
is a person too brazen
to claim promises
but too cowardly
to even try

All we were
—I shout to my face
growing faint In
my own memory—
is a person bound
to be forgotten
in a sea of friendless people
and endless misery
