Glass Walls and Hypocrites

Even if I’m untrusting

I wish you would believe

The things I say

Because I’m telling the truth

Even if I’m secretive

I wish you would reach out

To me and others

Because I want to help you

Even if I’m self-conscious

I wish you would see

How amazing you are

Because so many others can

Even if I’m unhappy

I wish you would smile

In a way that I didn’t doubt

Because I wish only the best for you

Even if I’m complicated

I wish you would explain

Things my simple mind doesn’t get

Because I’m trying my best

Even if I’m doubtful

I wish you would notice

That I love you so much

Because you are my friend

I write this hypocritical statements

These stones that I throw at glass walls

I am untrusting. I am secretive. I am self-conscious. I am unhappy. I am complicated. I am doubtful.

But I wish that you were not.
