No, it's not okay
Not this time. Not today.
I've eaten too many of your apologies.
I've looked past all of your faults out of love.

But not today.
Today I'm going to take a swig of the selfishness you've been drunk on.
I'm going to let my feelings bleed out into potentially explosive syllables.
Today I'm taking my chance to tell you how you make me feel.

I hate it.
I hate how you just assume everything is okay.
I can't stand how I build my life around you, yet I'm only a brick in one of your blank walls.
It drives me insane how much I care because I know you don't care at all.
I hate how afraid I am of telling the truth because the last thing I ever want to do is hurt you.

So today I'll let it go again.
I'll chew on another lame excuse.
I'll stay humble and sober on your behalf.
I'll turn a blind eye again.
I'll do everything I always do for you and more...

But

From today it won't be okay
anymore...

— The End —
