Are You OK

Why couldn’t you be more like them
And less like this and more like him
Feign confidence
Feign happiness
Feign life
I found such confidence
While I was fast asleep
But the confidence left
With all the self-esteem
I was baptized by the night
Kept my distance from the light
All my thoughts were fighting
A battle not worth the fight
I got to see this but I can’t look
I got to feel this but I can’t touch
Can you set this right
And can you guide me through
I drew a line but I did not know
Which side to choose so I chose none
But a life on a blades edge
Makes it hard to set things straight
And your linear way of life
Those compulsive ways to find
A way in when there’s only one out
But you’ll live as long as there are doubts
