Oceanic eyes

pushes up the hills

that sprout from life’s road

determined to be

the better version of me.

Fake smiles and gestures

can’t hide

the strangling fear and insecurity

all I want is to be me.

This road can feel lonely

my words are my friends

dreaming of what I could be

trying to find this mysterious place

happy.

Inspired by the show Nashville and the character Juliette. I have a new addiction.
