Navigating Nonsense
• Written by ForeverLucid
weak to the bones
can we take anymore
is this how it ends
the end to the war?
my strength has all gone
yet still i remain
everything is different
yet im the same
my shoulders are dipped
the pressure weighs in
this soldier needs air
how do you win?
its all inside out
backward you know
im out here observing
a soap opera show
laughing where once
i felt stuck and stressed
time to learn more about the people
which i carefully invest
ive grown not collapsed
and somehow i made sense
acceptance, no regrets
smile in pretence
intelligence prevails
what doesnt work goes
time to learn now
im being kept on my toes
this system i escaped
only knew me as a stat
im fine, no youre not
turn off the tap
just want to be normal
accepted and true
lets talk and talk
emotionally i grew
released and ready
i know what to do
remember youre not ill
despite what you went through
just learn to control
this energy you feel
dont dilute your life though
knowing whats real
im back to being me
i was just far too free
the strong one had to fall
i had to understand me
