I'm okay <3


It follows..

No matter what where I go it’s always there..

Even when times are in peace it takes advantage slowly..

Seeping thoughts of depraved solitude in my mind..

When the silence kicks in the curtains fall down when no one is looking

Even if it bleeds through..

The odd colors, staining my white curtains, making it difficult to hide

But easy for them to never notice..

Deeply sewin into my mind, drowning of poison of these thoughts..

Giving me eyes, that will never close widen with paranoia of words..

Mouth paralyzed

Of a motion that people called

Smile

Forbidden to tell the truth of my hearts solitude

Telling a lie to others..

I’m Okay
