For the sake of secrets, let’s say I’m safe.
Let’s say I got a hiding place.
Let’s say I’ve made apologies, the hearts I’ve broken have been appeased.
Let’s say the storm, like most, will pass.
Let’s sing a song for relief at last.
Let’s say that only time will tell if I’m really over being overwhelmed.
I’ve made mistakes.
They keep me company.
Oh man, what’s up with me?
I’ve changed, it’s comforting.
And there’s something soothing and surreal as hell.
About climbing up from where you fell.
You finally forget to be overwhelmed.
