The world’s not safe anymore

Wake up to smell the corruption in the air

I was never okay to begin with

But now I’m trapped

With my back up against a cliff

My hands remain unmoving but my darting eyes

Probably give away how I’m feeling

To those who care to notice

Those who make a bad example out of me

Proving I’m not useless

It’s difficult to pretend but it’s harder to acknowledge

One’s own flaws and take stock of each and every wrong,

Is it not?

To open your own mind, 

To give out a copy or two of the 

Key to your own heart

The world was never safe

But it felt safer with you here

When I wake up I know

I’ll smell her perfume masking

My silly little fears
