I am a coward
I hide behind you as an excuse
To shield the world from my ugly soul
My frayed lining is too black and burnt
To salvage any memories
I regress
But you see this
It's fine
Saying it out loud makes it okay
Needing to sponge light from anyone
Need to find light from any pinhole
It's time for a new face
If the old one doesn't devour it whole
