i see you
and you don’t like it
i see you
and you can’t fight it
i see you
and i’m right
you see me
as a version of you
you see me
and my flaws
as yours
i’m raw
unfiltered
anxious
and bruised
taking off this mask
this learned defense
i’m reborn
and confused
but still
i show my wrists
see my heart
see my colors
see me to the core
but the agony
of facing your character
of shame
of blame
of inadequacy
of the game
of being a human
the concealing
the pressure
the false face
the layers of stink
you hide away
the pain
pretend you’re sane
but i see you
take my hand
i perceive you
the flaws
the despair
your armour
take it off
take my hand
i recognize you
i appreciate you
i see you
and it’s okay
to be seen
