Deflecting

I know now why I'm so silent and distant at most times
I am not happy with the lack of drive and
I've derived great comfort in assuring I'm far from alive
Forgive this seemingly morbid chapter as I comfortably dive
Into another discombobulated variable of rhymes
I'd be committing a crime if I didn't explore this side that's sliding
just gliding on glass with tenterhooks and have been for a while.
Since I was a child I've always known I'd experience being alone
Whilst understanding that I'll never walk this alluminated line all on my own
I'm not the only one so
There'll always be someone who's worse off
I cherish what I hold dear and respect I'm a part of the ones with no plots
I hide in plain sight where I choose carefully how I fight
If I don't I could end up seeing the nothingness that's in my sights
How bright can it get when all the lights harbour threats
I hug the darkness just tight enough to repel the harsh knives thrown into my set.
We reject certain truths told by the crazy guys who's walk is too loose
So we've pre tied the noose before theyve even been given a chance to honestly choose,
possibly they're unwell and the reality is they've blindsided all worrying clues.
Guiding is so paramount when your troubles can be solved by simply believing in

Just stopping by to say hello, Nev. Lord knows it's been a minute. Happy thoughts.

There is not judgement that terror can deter nor vulnerability that true friends can't share. The light that emanates from within us is the fire that catches our reflection in those that love us and the shared warmth the terror deflates.
