This is the first time I've felt okay
the first time I've felt no need to run away
away from this dreaded hell
away from all the depression I've had to quell.
On the usual day
it'll follow me every which way.
Insistent on needing to be felt,
and in my mind it has always dwelt.
So I'll wrap myself up in a melody of another person's emotion
determinedly trying to lull the commotion.
And although I have succeeded in this task at the moment,
I know this instant is no prolonged atonement.
