Barely Together                                - Jocelyn Kay How is it I hold myself together When you’re around me And I can breathe The air around your skin How is it I don’t cry always Don’t collapse, don’t capsize Every atom of me aching as I watch you be someone else’s Selfish I am, the pain is of my own making I’m happy you’re happy, but I’m shivering and tired I’ll hold it together But only for you You don’t need to know, you don’t need the drama I’ll hold it all in And try to be me Feeling my insides exploding Calm, outwardly Was this meant to happen? Did I mess up a past life Is there really just one Destiny? Where do I find peace Where do I find solace Where do I find the happiness that I seek Where am I headed Where will I land Will it just be another barren island All we can do is hope, Cling to that everthinning rope To change is to die, and I’m broken inside Will you leave me? Will time split our paths in two? Will I get to see you? Can I still love you Is it answers I seek? Or shallow distraction I don’t believe in You. But help me Lord
