I haven’t felt safe in over twenty years
That feels strange to admit
There’s a casual acceptance to a lifetime of fears
“Oh, come on, get over it.”
Like,
Maybe I don’t want this but I don’t know the alternative
Like I’ve been blinkered and I can only see straight ahead
It tells me this is the only way to live
“Stay home, stay safe, stay in bed.”
Traitorous to the last I tell myself it’s better
To live a life that’s infinitely lesser
Because I can’t breathe and I want to go home
But what is a home if you still feel alone?
That feeling of being alone
is something we all can relate
the issue begins
when we think is our fate
that we’re bound to this feeling
and cannot take off the plate
Reality is deeper
hear me out of what I’ll say
feeling lonely all of the day
won’t let us realize
that we are really great!
