I left myself behind
a veil of lies, a sort of
secret I told myself
to help with the game.
Without the veil
there is no behind
or in front;
only a presence
of mind
like no other.
Loving me with open arms
whispering sweets and ideas
into my heart
to give me something
to build of my own.
Life can do anything
I want, except die,
and for the first time
I am happy
I was wrong.
