Okay
I know they say it's okay to not be okay
But is it?
I know what will happen when I say certain things
The things that would cause tears
I don't want to think about them
But they're there
Waiting and watching in the corners to see my next move
Do I address them?
Do I ignore and deal with them later?
They give me a choice sometimes and my answer is to ignore
They know that's my shield so they tear me down
They eat my brain away as I keep my mouth closed
As I know, if I address them they won't go.
They'll lurk in the corners and continue to peer
I feel like a deer
Staring at the headlights stuck in place
One wrong move i'll be gone
But one right move they'll live on.
