I am real around you 

because you know when I am not 

when I am holding back information 

that can be detrimental to my health 

 

I am real around you 

because you know how I function 

 

I spend days trying to not spend 

days worrying if you are okay or not 

regardless of what I know you are capable 

of handling 

you shouldn't have to. 

 

No dirt or light 

my feelings grow 

 

This fever 

has no cure, and if it did 

I would decline 

 

You protect me 

from making wrong decisions 

shine darkness upon me 

I see it all 

 

Not human you are 

your energy always cloaks me 

surrounds me 

engulfs me 

protects me 

 

Not human we are 

not wanting anyone to identify 

the objects we 

fly 

on your walls 

the chords 

you vocalize 

the drums 

you hear from 

 

I am your design.
