if i show myself
if i show my tears
if i show my teeth
if i show it all
my most authentic self
will you still stay
because it's quite embarrassing
how deeply i feel
and how much i conceal
so i can fit in
i try to be a
pillar of strength
but i can barely pick myself up
will you still stay
and take me for who i am
it's quite absurd
how much i don't
look like me
you see a quokka
but i take off my suit
and i'm just a bunch of worms
oh my
i'm so scared
will you still stay?
after you've seen my
bare self
