I'm a Mess

You show all your feathers
While I hide mine inside
I try to be clever
While you'd rather be kind
And I am a self-saboteur
But you don't let me fall on my sword
You wait while I catch my breath
And don't leave just because I leave a mess

The kites in the park
Both floating like birds
The breeze makes you dance
As I crash down to earth
And I am a masochist
With a mind that I can't untwist
You pull me from the wreck
And don't leave just because I leave a mess

You burned your disguise
So they know who you are
Your clothes catch their eyes
While mine fall apart
And I am a hypocrite,
Frightened of letting mine slip
And the wildfires burn in my head
You don't leave just because I leave a mess

What we whisper together at night
Keeps the darkness from coming to light
What we whisper together at night
Stops the chaos from winning this fight
