rupee craver seeks more attention

every time 

i get a stone in my shoe 

i am reminded 

of the last days we were 

together


when i met you 

i realized you were someone 

who could touch my soul 

and open my eyes to all that is true

 and that is why i did not 

answer your text

there is a time 

for us to do 

what we have been doing 

and that time 

is every day

i thought

you loved me

i thought

i loved you

i've learned

to avoid

thinking 

if as they say

beauty is only skin deep

always remember

to use moisturizer

when i met you

i realized you were someone

who could touch my soul

and open my eyes to all that is true

and that is why i did not

answer your text

there is a time 

for us to do 

what we have been doing 

and that time 

is every day

one of my dreams

is making enough money 

to build a house

with mirrors 

in every room 

so every moment

of every day

i can see

ME

every moment

is a moment

that could be a moment 

behind this mask

i am who i am

but who i am

is not whom

you think i am

i am not

an imposter

i am simply 

a mask

hiding my insecurity

and

milking the honey

i avoid deep waters

sticking to the shallows

where i feel safer

and can be

        more easily

                              seen

Pax et bonum
