i know how to be sad
I’ve done it before, in my teenage years
i’ll put on bright eyes (fevers and mirrors)
Isolate myself, shrouded in all my fears
Run from it all until it disappears.
Till I can hear nothing but my heart, pounding in my ears.
But when I stop to catch a breath and the dust clears,
I realize, I am the one who disappears.
And I’ll run from you if it means ditching my fears.
But they’re still here.
..i still don’t want to reappear.
at the same, time this i can’t endure.
I want you to reassure.
Make it known that I am Her,
To quell my fears when they stir,
Hold me tight when i might I succumb to the lure
Of fresh new beginnings, my feet pounding dirt;
remind me there’s always going to be something that hurts,
the desire to love and be loved is humanity’s eternal curse.
But you’ll be here (you always were).
