Her Facade Optimism (Her Series II)

Was I optimist?

People often see me as that. They always see me radiating positive energy.

They always receive light from me for I keep shining for them.

But never will they know

Never will they see

What’s behind me

The façade I built for them to see.

I failed to give light to myself

I failed to radiate the same energy I give to people- for myself

Its all dark in here, I couldn’t see

What and where I will be

What I’ll become and what I truly want

I always neglected myself for others sake

And that’s when I failed myself

Was I optimistic? Maybe for you

But not for me.

Guess you’ll never see that part of me.
