It's Okay

"it's okay

it's going to be fine

look at the bigger picture

look at the future i am colouring

for you, so you would do this for me

just this once

and i won't tell you about my eraser

i won't admit i have it

i will accuse you of having one

and who can blame me?

what you don't know can't hurt you

if it does

i won't be there to see you cry

and crying's good for you, isn't it?

i will pretend i care

i won't tell you i am a great actor

let's just run to the finish line, baby

there's nothing else to do

you don't want to? fine. now you do?

it's okay, it's okay

it's going to be fine"

you say all this to me

i listen to you

and i tell myself

it's okay

it's going to be fine

Contentedness

It is all falling back into place

There is nothing to fear

And nothing to disbelieve in

And no reason to cry

Also, more importantly,

There is no reason to be pessimistic

To notice what is not present

Because there is so much to think of

And so much to remember

Fondly.

Contentedness, unlike happiness, wears off after a while. But it is worth enjoying while it is there, and unrealistic to fear a future without it. This is what I have learnt; and I am glad I have learnt it. These are happy tears, a little late in the day.

My world

Falling

Colliding

Vapourising: invisible

Ten million stars

And trying to catch them all.
