The Semicolon Charm
You saw my bracelet
Asked what it said
I felt a bit embarrassed
I think my face turned red.
"My story isn't over yet"
I sheepishly replied
"There's a semicolon too"
A piece inside of me died.
Mental health awareness,
I tried to explain
Yet I be you wondered
If I was truly sane
It might turn you away
I don't know what you'd say
If you knew the real me
What I struggle with each day
It will forever be a factor
When I meet someone new
I'm prepared for the worst,
Most don't know what to do.
Will he understand?
Most probably not.
He'll probably think I'm crazy
I get that a lot
I'll see where this goes
Won't let my hopes rise too high
I may have scared him off,
Always prepared for good bye
