Getaways

I want to getaway

Out of this dark place 

1.2.3… 

I count my breath 

To remind myself I’m still here

Stuck in this nothingness 

I’m tried of being duplicitous for people who will never get it 

For you , I say I’ll put on a show 

Dance around with my happy face 

But really at this point is love enough? 

Almost , I could say the answer to that question I ask myself is no..

So 1.2.3… 

I’ll hold my breath 

God forbid I speak the truth 

So I’ll let my self drown in the pain just long enough

 to remember to pull my head up above the current for a little while longer each time 

Catch a glimpse of the shattered shells at the bottom of the ocean floor 

I ask my self again , Isn’t it lovely some people will never know what it’s like to be that shell ? 

Thrown away and broken a million times over again 

So duplicitous I stand cowardly over my own body like a ghost but I’m still alive 

Oh , and as for the people, never tell them how you truly feel 

Validation will never be rewarded for those with feelings like these 

Take a deep breath and let go 

Just let it go and run with the wind from the roller coasters inside your head 

1.2.3! I count it’s time to smile for the cameras , be yourself they say , everything will be okay , you just need a getaway.
