If there are emotions I can’t
Name but can feel.
How do I tell if they
Are even real?
Be disturbed by this
Perfect mask of calm.
I’ll convince you that this
Is all I am.
All these thoughts, they plan
To get the best of me.
And here I thought
That we’d all get along swimmingly
But instead I'm drowning in
This lake of mine
Not flying on wings
Falling from the sky.
There’s a wall
It's been hit by catapults.
On the other side things
Kept inside a vault.
The sliding scale of friendship
Shows me where you are.
Explain to me how you managed
To get so far.
