Can't sit still forever

 

 

It's easy to look strong.

It's easy to fake happiness,

just break out 

a fake smile for so long

that you feel the cracks 

start to take shape,

when you feel you don't belong

it's easier to hide.

You find some dark shadows

and dive inside.

 

But you can't sit still forever,

God knows I've tried.

I've sat in the dark for more years

than I care to confide.

It's easy to let the gloom

consume you,

become entombed.

It's harder to make a break

and give yourself the love you need

 

It's easy to let life slip by,

watch as it slides.

It's easy to find new shady areas

to spend your time.

It's easy to let the world turn,

without making your mark,

never leaving the dark.

 

But you can't sit still forever,

God knows I've tried.

It's harder to just say no

and take a bus ride,

a train journey somewhere nice,

but it can change the way you see,

it can open your eyes.

You can't sit still.forever.

Sometimes you have to accept

the hand that guides.

Not fear the bad tides.

Enjoy the love 

that smiles

with wide eyes.
