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
