Missing

I don’t miss people,

it’s as simple as that.

Missing hurts, missing is long.

I don’t want that.

Friends, family, miles and miles away.

When we get the chance to visit,

they always say they missed me

and I say I missed them.

But my deceit tears me up inside,

guilt brewing within me,

clenching my throat and squeezing my heart,

but honesty is worse.

When I say nothing or speak only truth

shame takes root, growing,

anxiety and panic taking control.

It’s better to lie.

I don’t miss people,

it’s as simple as that.

Missing hurts, missing is long.

I don’t want that.
