All What People Say
I don’t know
I just don’t know anymore
Tears sting in my eyes
I thrive to release them
But then all would ask “why”
Signs and people
Make me believe I’m doing something wrong
But my heart
That fragile pounding voice
That bleak passionate emotion
That thing that makes me who I am
Shouts to me to let down my tears
To shut out all thy people
To do the thing that feels right
To do the one thing I love more than anything
Make people laugh, and smile
Be there, just be there
Supporting, believing, praying
But then all would judge
And the pureness would turn into guilt
The guilt that would strangle me
Strangle me into exhaustion and confusion
And I would lie, hide, and change
And people would notice
They would ask “why”
And I don’t want that
Sometimes I wish if things weren’t things
If words are easily done
I wish if I could wake up
Knowing every doubt and worry is gone
Every ache, and asphyxiation mended
But no
The sun will come up again
With every ray, there will be darkness
With every hope it brings, shattered
With every glee, agony will settle
And we will shut it out
With curtains and veils
In the tears, darkness, and ache
We were brought
And in them we shall prosper
