Convincing yourself that everything is okay Like diving into a cold body of water and telling yourself that it’s warm To put your hand on the burner as your hand is screaming, you’re telling yourself that its Cold That being cold in your heart is only because the world couldn’t handle your warmth The world would be better place with your chambers cold and only the thing hot is the buildup of your Thoughts That’s why you tell yourself that everything is okay because you believe no one else would be there to tell you that everything is Not okay But it’s okay to not be okay and it’s alright to be cold and you don’t have to justify your actions and you don’t have to hold your hand over the burner anymore Because what you think is cold of your thoughts can be the warmth to someone else.

The trick of living - Convincing
Convincing yourself that everything is okay Like diving into a cold body of water and telling yourself that it’s warm To put your hand on the burner as your hand is screaming, you’re telling yourself that its Cold That being cold in your heart is only because the world couldn’t handle your warmth The world would be better place with your chambers cold and only the thing hot is the buildup of your Thoughts That’s why you tell yourself that everything is okay because you believe no one else would be there to tell you that everything is Not okay But it’s okay to not be okay and it’s alright to be cold and you don’t have to justify your actions and you don’t have to hold your hand over the burner anymore Because what you think is cold of your thoughts can be the warmth to someone else.
