Time Bomb
March 10, 2016
Do not ask my if I’m okay
One day you may get an answer
There aren’t enough lies in the world
To keep that I’m a walking disaster
At 3 AM on sleepless nights
I cannot stand the silence
It presses in on every side
Filled with my mistakes
Damn propriety!
I’m done with society
Why do we pretend?
Even when we’re not we are
Because trust is so easily broken
And when you open up your soul
You never know
If they’ll help you
Or choke you
So do not ask me if I’m okay
The answer is no, I’m not
I’m a time bomb ticking down
And I don’t want you to get hurt.
