You'll be alright
It will be ok
Everything's fine
It will go away
Oh really?
I'm skeptical
A pretty rhyme
To soothe the soul
Does nothing
For the mind
I think I'll worry
I think I'll doubt
Maybe it's not my fault
Maybe I just don't care
Or perhaps I do
Perhaps it means more to me
Than you will ever know
How could you know?
The nooks and crannies
Of my innermost thoughts
Are no simple path
They are a maze
Of words and feelings
And lost reasons
The fear I feel
The joy I hold
The hurt I harbor
The love I have
You can't know unless
You really see
You can't see unless
I show you
Unless I bring my walls down
That rarely happens
And so far
I've always regretted it
So when you say
It will be ok
You don't really know
And neither do I
So tell me anyways
I need to hear it.
