Hurts
Pains
Familiar words flashing in my head
Again and again
Everyday
Blues blacks all blending together
Nights bleeding into days
Minutes into hours
I'm not sad
Don't know how to feel
Not sad yet
Yet tears fight to get out
I'm not sad
I'm just living
And so
Tears
Tears fall because I'm alive
I live every day
And
I'm not okay
Not okay yet I am
I don't smile
I don't need to
I'm okay
I walk every day
Forward
One step after other
Again and again
I walk
I don't stop
I want to stop
I'm okay
I stop
Stop to look at my bleeding feet
Leaving red marks
To wipe my falling tears
I want to stop
So I stop
But I jerk forward
Forward
I have forgotten
Forgotten what it means to stop
I've forgotten how to stop
Stop to breathe
I walk on bleeding
Tears falling
I walk
Walk walk walk
Walk
Tears falling
Leaving them behind
Memories good and bad
No time to face them
No time to heal
Fears pass by
Clinging onto me
One more burden
Can't stop me
Not stopping me
Just making me run
Run run run
Run forward
I'm okay
I'll walk because I'm okay.
I'm okay.
