day seventy-one: my own me.

my own me

who is that

exactly?

i've never seen

that megan before.

does she live around here?

must be from up north...

or maybe west

maybe she's out there

in the desert sands

being happy herself

and hiding from this

insanely sad world...

or maybe she's not even

from this planet

maybe she's on mars

being happy alone

finding joy in alienation...

where do you think she is?

i think there's a slight chance

that she's just buried

under all this pressure

and worry

and that she's inside me

i know she is

and she's busting out

so watch out

because you might not like

to see her smile

i hear it breaks hearts-

that truly happy smile.
