Safe

Am I... Safe with you? Not just physically But, that's important too. But, but, but, What about when... The ever-present "they" Can't understand my appeal? Or, when another set of "theys" Can't deal with me being real? Is it "safe" to believe That it's okay to just be me, Or did you mistakingly believe That I'd be something other than ....just D.? Am I.... Safe with you? Will you protect my time? Will you protect what makes D? Even when the beat that I march to, Doesn't match what comes from Your drum? Can I trust you to protect me Against any and everyone? With a magnifying glass in hand, That's not what I see. Am I... Safe with you? Isn't something that I should even have to ask.... But, here I am asking.... And, completely unmasking A vulnerability, I suppose. But, still I'll ask, All the while broadcasting my woes. Am I Safe With You?
