here for now.🌙

Constantly wondering if the side they’re revealing is true

Or just a tightly fitted mask.

Showing the best version of themselves for the briefest moment 

Just long enough to reel you in.

Monsters are real, they come in all shapes and sizes

They aren’t always creatures hiding under your bed.

It’s like a scene from a movie, they zoom in on a girl as she sits quietly alone looking out a window. She looks sad, distant, as she watches the rain pour down before her. As she closes her eyes the picture begins to fade. Now, flashing imagines begin to form from a different time. She’s reliving a painful past in her head. Revealing just enough to keep you watching. The pain is so real, so deep, that it takes your breath away. It flashes back to her as tears roll down her rosy cheeks. She feels eyes on her but unlike all the other times she’s not quick to stand and greet you with her usual smiling face. She sits alone, letting this pain consume her, slowly, and all at once. Because, some days are harder than others, so you allow it to come in and take over because sometimes fighting, is so very, exhausting.

It becomes a battle you keep losing, and you just want to surrender.

I had a horrible dream, I had no feet. I woke up in a panic, tossing the covers to check myself over.

Whatever would I do, if I could not run from what scares me most…
