I'll be ok

One miss-step is all it takes now

A repressed memory, a bad week

Suddenly I'm hurtling towards the concrete

My threads of lies are tangling

The mask of joy I managed to conjure up that morning had slipped

The shattered remains of my rose-tinted mirrors surrounded me

Sometimes there is no trigger 

My body simply begins to sag under a millenniums worth emotional weight

Something I didn't know was there bubbles

But someday,

Someday I'll wake up and know how to smile

It won't be right away, I still have to learn

But someday I'll be okay

Just not today.
