When light fades to dark,
All that’s left is the light of the signs,
And the Christmas lights.
They are only put up for tradition and lack of better things to do.
Sometimes I lay under a Christmas tree,
Because that’s the only way I can force myself to live in the present.
And as a present, because I don’t think my family enjoys:
Paying for my Zoloft,
Paying to sent me to Amy,
Paying for all the things associated with band,
Putting up with my grades,
Putting up with my moods.
I feel quite festive when I lay under the tree,
And sometimes I take naps there.
It’s comforting to watch the flashing lights.
And to know that one wrong move,
And a bunch of
Porcelain, glass, plastic, sharp metal,
And the branches of the fake tree,
Can come crashing down on you.
Yes, it's that easy.
