Letter Number One (Free verse) by not_a_philosopher
Dear You,
You know
The happiness that radiates from these eyes
And the laughter you are
So accustomed to hearing
Isnât an accurate portrayal of who I really am
Iâm telling you this because,
When I wonder off
And act sad and scared and lonely
You suddenly are concerned, and say
Iâm not acting like myself
Well I have a secret to tell you:
Youâve never known myself.
Donât feel bad.
Itâs not your fault; Iâve never let you.
But the fact still remains you wouldnât recognize myself
If it hit you over the head.
So please donât tell me that Iâve been acting strange.
Donât tell me youâre concerned, and that maybe I should talk.
I rarely talk.
All those words you hear is just an elaborately constructed
Series of white noises designed specifically to fool you
into thinking
Iâm trying to communicate.
If youâre really so interested in talking then just talk already.
But donât ask me about it.
Iâm sorry if Iâve startled you.
I know you donât like to be startled.
But itâs been on my chest since before I met you.
And I had to finally let it out.
I hope this hasnât changed things between us.
Love always,
Me
