You Know

by Nicole M. - Gemini

You know the truth
Although you don't-

Puffed and proud
Walking a line
Of cocky and confident-
Scared tightroper
With a tatoo of bravery
for who's sake?
Not mine, not our's
You know the truth-
falling and failure
With a net
Hopefully.

Selfish . . not really . .?
You stay to love
That's what you call it-
fear that the next one
Won't come
fairness does not play here
Hold on to them
And reach out for the next rope.


There really is no problem here
Just someone assuming
I'm not getting my fair share-
Not really like that-
Not at all-
Be what you're not-
Lies, sometimes work.

You know the truth
But it's too late.
