Dear Facade

• Artist: ThisIsMyDeathbed_x
• Description: This poem's straight from my head, if you get me. About self hatred and wanting to change who you are (and yes, it's based on me)
  
  PLZ NOTE : The big words are there for a reason. And yes, i used a thesaurus :XD (They are there to show that the narrator clearly thinks of changing a little too often - hense the big words. :) )
  
  comment and rate , as usual :P

Dear Facade,
Please make me a better person,
Tie up my debauched traits and intern them out of reach.
Impair them and hold them hostage.
Never let odium surge through my blood again.

Please prevent me from bleeding,
Teach me to mask my emotion,
Don’t reveal it to anybody,
Ever.
Let it be our little secret.


Bequeath me with buoyancy,
Teach me that sadness isn’t worthwhile,
Teach me that there is more to life than affliction and war,
Tell me that there are other ways to solve things than violence.
Teach me that nobody has to get wounded.
Teach me that I don’t have to wound myself.

Make me earnest,
Teach me to think around corners,
So I can always see ahead.
So I can be prepared.
So I know what’s coming.
So I know that not everything is my error.

Make me liberal and benevolent,
So I can share understanding with my friends.
Teach me to share experiences astutely,
So they won’t get hurt.
So they won’t be hurt like me.

Hide my scepticism,
And immerse me in sanguinity,
Teach me right from wrong.
Teach me the difference between glee and gloom.
Teach me how to overcome.
Teach me how to be unique.
Teach me how to be a better person.

That's exactly what I'm like. I've been living behind a mask for so long that even I don't know who I am anyway.
What I'm like on this is the real me. The funny - hah - and outgoing avi is the real me. not my quiet self. Doug's the only one who can see through my mask.
That's why i started to write, btw. i wasn't trying to achieve anything at first, i just wanted to find myself. Instead, though, I found what I believe i'm pretty okay at, and i found ambition.
Thanks for the comment <3

i have... i forget but at least 1 facade, and i get disappointed when people are so stupid that they can't see past it! like I'm quiet, mostly because I don't know people. but then people don't talk to me and the facade just stands there in the way, like I'm hiding behind a curtain and they can only see the curtain, not me!
