The Creep in Me
The creep in me
Is the fool in you
You see me more than I would like
The true me is hid away
Buried under lies
My true colors masked from you
You don’t even see it in my eyes
You thought you knew me
You thought all my secrets were revealed
What you don’t know
Won’t hurt you
I’ve been lying to your face
I can’t believe what I see
You’re so wasted on me
Too foolish to be
Too lonely to be
Sick of the creep in me
And every time I think you’re gone
You’re there again to back me up
Every time I think you’re gone
You’re there again to back me up
You’ve got no clue
Into how I’ve treated you
You’re so misled
You’re so blind
I’ve played you like a fool
You’ll do anything I ask
Anything I ask
Why is it?
You’re so desperate
You’ll do anything it takes
Anything it takes
To get attention
Hold on to the end
Stop clinging to me for everything
Just let go and let live
I can’t believe what I see
You’re so wasted on me
Too foolish to be
Too lonely to be
Sick of the creep in me
And every time I think you’re gone
You’re there again to back me up
Every time I think you’re gone
You’re there again to back me up
Several times
I can’t help it
I have to turn away again

About the Book
Swimming in a Whisper is a collection of poems written over a four year period, from age fifteen to nineteen. Varying in style and rhythm, each poem is an experience in its own. Lyrical and imaginative, among other elements, the reader is taken on a journey through mysticism, the romanticism of love, and the optimistic reality dreams have to offer.
