In an upside-down garden

I struggle to fill up my daily word quota,
you listen to my silence and hear screaming,
I want to go through life with an eraser,
disappearing behind my mistakes.

I'm never wrong unless I know you're right,
shattered, incapable of ever being whole,
You always say "don't let life pass you by"
well, what if it all ready did?

Nope, but I like the idea of "daily word quota."

Actually, there's more....

I think I've been pretending for so long,
that I'm afraid of who I used to be
It's always easier to act like I don't care
like the world simply doesn't matter.

Somehow, this is different,
neither of us knows what to say
I don't pretend when you're around,
I'm not afraid of who I am with you.

I'm tired of people telling me
"I hope your as happy
as you're pretending to be"
well, what if I'm not pretending?

I want to write you the perfect poem
but nothing seems good enough.
What do you say to the person
who showed you how to live?

troubling thoughts go thru my mind when I read both
Are you ok Allysa? Hopefully you are.
May you find all the happiness in life
Thanks again for sharing

donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?
