Even though I hold my most precious cards close to heart
And watch every word I allow myself speak in the open
On some days, there are missed moments when
I get too comfortable,
Yapping to the world everything my soul whispers me.
🖤
Although I guard the reflections from the windows to my soul
And allow my left feet no room for missteps in the ceaseless dance
On some days, I find myself twirling painfully on thin ice.
🦋
Though I keep my act together like there are no second takes availed to me
And use every chance I get to mend the holes in my poker face
I count it a blessing in disguise when you see through that cracked mask of mine.
