[LoveKat]

i lay here trapped between two parallel worlds
in the synapse where my vision is blurred
and my body is tied to the pendulum of my moods
i swing back and forth from these realities
my emotions playing a game of tug-a-war
and i want to just cry but my tears are frozen
unable to escape down my bruised cheeks
and over my lips chapped from the cold
and the inability to scream out for help

this is my pleasant day when i hang here still
unnoticed by the passerbys who just think
that i am just another kid experiencing life's stressors
and making unwarranted complaints, but this

this is me
i don't expect you to understand
i do not need your sympathy
just arms to hold me when i am scared
a warmth to melt away the fear

i have been walking this path for many years
traveling alone lost without a grasp
and occasionally seeing the light
for that moment everything comes into focus
and i can see my face in the reflection
and i can see myself smiling back at me
and i know that it will be okay

i know that it will be okay
i know that it will be okay
