Then I met another boy.

This time, I was more careful.

I didn't bother to show him the real me

Because it would make our potential friendship toxic.

The last thing I wanted to do

Was make someone else hurt.

I didn't want to tell him about myself,

And so I masked it.

Fake smiles, feigned laughter, plastic attitude.

For him.
