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.
