Just a thought
Where does my mind go if I let it roam today
To a time I didn't know storms could get inside
When I thought someone else handled the world
And all I needed to do was exist
It's painfully tiring to think of everything
What if, what if, what if
Combined with distrust of
Contractors, doctors, police, self
I don't want to ever need anyone
I'm too afraid everything is impossible to fix
What if no ones knows much more than me
We're all wandering through without a clue
I'm afraid of the wasted time
I'm afraid of the invested time
What if I open my eyes to realise
Nothing I took for granted was secure
Could I start small, being safe and dry
Build outwards but without anything left to chance
Or would I swoon, too tired and ask to be saved
Settle for the safety of a blanket round me
Sheltered, with someone else doing the thinking
Wait here, they'd say
And I'd wait til the end of days, lost in thought
