i've made this picture. it's really quite beautiful.
it's honest, sweet, helpful, loving, trusting, and
open. SMILE it says.
this is the picture i've made of me.
peel away the pretty paint and plaster.
underneath is me, i'm mostly black,
with bits of scattered confused colors.
they know it's not what i pretend it is.
i cry a lot, and it's pretty lonely here because
not a lot of sunlight gets in.
this other picture is much more shocking.
it's lying, cruel, hateful, wary, tear stained.
don't talk to me. it says
at night when i'm alone the black tells
me the truth. i'm a lying fake,
if they knew they would hate me.
