You'll Be Alright
Time pauses when your heart's in denial;
refusing to move on, as requested.
And regret's offset by a phony smile;
as fledgling feelings are weighed and tested.
When fantasy distorts reality,
there is nothing that you can do or say.
And though your hopeful heart may disagree,
it's time for you to wipe your tears away.
Your broken heart is reluctant to dream:
for anxiety and fear, have combined.
And faulting fantasies for what they seem;
depression's shadow eclipses your mind.
Excise the ghosts haunting your dreams at night,
believe in yourself, and you'll be alright.
