A Hint at Tomorrow

Bad dreams full of child-like wishes and all
Vivid colors mirror the concrete just after I fall
It's hard to breathe, to keep it in, to look away
And know there's nothing else I can say

I try to say - it's just okay
But I know, the truth it weighs
The fear in me takes control
I'm powerless with a bruised soul

Follow your lead and mimic the tone you set down
Pretend I'm a shadow, without a mind of my own
Do you wonder what I see, what I need, and if I'm alright
I'm struggling to stay alive and not fight

I try to say - it's just okay
But I know, the truth it weighs
The fear in me takes command
So sad I can't take a stand

Keeping busy, proving I have a life to call mine
Ignoring phone calls and messages you say are signs
Imagining what my future will be
Full of images and different faces I see

I try to say - just let go
But the heavy heart always flows
Bleed and scream into the night
Drowning out the sound, so polite
