Write It Out

I’m gonna be all write
I’m gonna be breathless and right it out
I’m gonna rite it out
And be breathlessness without the doubt

Or the strain
Or the hurt, or the pain
Or the hope and hopelessness
Or there be an antidote to this 

Like lipstick stain on white bread
And the lipstick on my coffee cup
I will be there

And I will remain colorful
Bright as makeup on the counter
I want to be put on and worn out ‘til the day I am unable to cover the flaws
Kept in a tube or in a drawer

I am going to be alright and make nice life
Love like nice life
Love like kind eyes
I am perfectly alright life 
Eye and nice life kind of all write
