You know someone like me is about the things people hide. the thoughts that stay quiet, the pain that looks like nothing from the outside. it’s about masking, surviving, and trying to hold yourself together when no one really sees you. these poems are pieces of what it feels like to live in that space, to love, to lose, to break, and somehow still keep going. you know someone like me. you just don’t know you do.
happy birthday to me
but i can’t seem to find the happiness in it
i’m alone again
pretending it doesn’t hurt
to blow out candles
i had to light myself
i survive on the bare minimum
no expectations
no disappointment
so happy birthday to me
and here’s to another year
of calling the emptiness peace
