Nothing You Read Alarms You
Relax
Nothing you read alarms you
if it did would you continue
to the bottom of the page
as some ends seem more complete
Think of the phone calls you allow
to ring unanswered
a knock at the door alarms you
so you hid
Relax there’s nothing to fear
How much meaning in a life
do you give to things
as door knocks bells ring
Don’t quit me yet you say
give it a moment more
perhaps another page
one more word
Relax
If it made sense
would you believe it anyway
Be honest probably not Okay
Write it yourself believe every word
make sense even your friends
won’t buy
Be kind be true be still
and relax
Nothing you read alarms you
