Jod!E Quintero Poet I do not know?

Pieces

I’m balancing on a wire
Afraid I’m going to fall

These thoughts are so confusing now
If I’m not careful I, I might lose it all

Never know which road to take 
Or where I should go

Feels like it will blow up in my face
I just don’t know

One minute turns into an hour
My mind is in pieces 

Dark corners alone without someone
It’s cold and it freezes

These scattered pieces won’t fit together
Like a puzzle without edges

Put it back in the box, forget for awhile
Maybe throw it from the ledges

If it’s gone and out of mind
It can be gone forever

Guess I’ll go back to lying
And pretend that I’m better
