Simple.

Simple.

Just a phase.

Take these feelings;

And throw away.

Think you’re finished?

You’ll pretend?

Your feelings vanished?

Think again.

I know your secret.

Your little lie.

The twisting, aching

Pain inside.

I know it haunts you.

Day in, day out.

I know it wants you

To cower and pout.

Stay buried under

Mountains of grief.

Begin to plunder

Your mind of relief.

When good moods go sour,

And bad thoughts creep in;

I am inside you.

I am within. 

I will stay wriggling

Like a parasite.

Taking you over.

Feasting on  life.

You will fight me.

Some battles won.

But the war is in question.

Will it ever be done?

Who am I really?

Who can you blame?

Who can you point to

And shout out a name?

There’s no single source.

No single villain.

So what you must do

If you are willing;

Is stand up each day.

Breathe in and breathe out.

And fight through this world.

You’ll figure it out. 

If you are broken,

Damaged and bruised. 

No one can fix you

Except you, if you choose.

I am you.

I will stay.

Conquer your feelings.

And throw away.

Simple.

Simple.
