Optimistic Anguish

/

Agony put your arms around me
You’re all I need to feel alive
Go ahead forget it then
Inject it in my brain
All I need is pain to see the light

Agony put your arms around me
Pull me down and drown me
I’ll survive

The tricks
The sticks and stones
And knives

The dreams demeaned and self esteem
Denied the pride
Believing free
The tide that put this lie into motion
Emotion
The ocean
Unable to see

Blind as I could be
Being in love with you
Agony
