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.
