I don't
I don't want to keep reassuring myself that it'll all be ok
Because I'm not certain of anything anyway
I don't want to feel utterly alone surrounded by people who have nothing to say
Because maybe it's me, maybe I should try, despite all the myths breed in dismay
I don't want to hear how things could be better if I pray
Because I am spiritual, I just choose not to display
I don't want to be told to stop and smile today
Because such a request is entirely cliche
I will remain as I am, I refuse to stray
Because there's so much more under the surface that I don't convey
I don't have to be the same as I was yesterday
Because I value the changes in myself and others, I will not be led astray
I cannot be sure that I'll see the light of each day
But I want to keep trying before I decay
