I'll be okay

Hello… how’ve you been?
It’s nice to finally see you around but I wish I could be better…
I hope life’s been fairer to you than it has been to me

There’s so much that I could speak, but speaking isn’t my specialty
There’s too much sores to be felt within — I suppose I could shut them out
These aches aren’t for you to feel so I’ll just keep them to myself

My nails are dull, my hair is frail; the tornados bring the hail,
He wrecks my mind like a ship; he finds solance at my mountain’s tip,
How could this be a “me” wish; it’s not like it’s as simple as a light switch,

Still, the arrows and spears come my way; there’s no point in staying tame,
Be sure not to toy with lighters; an active fuse will attract daring travelers,
My war is an attraction; only to serve as a distraction
to what the bigger picture is…

Don’t let me drift away
All boats need an anchor but mine has been lost amongst the storms
There’s only so much I could say
Until then, don’t let me drift away

Be by my side and all will be okay
Hugs, love and company is all I’ll ever need
Be by my side and I’ll be okay

Don’t let me drift away… I’ll be okay
