I’m Fine

Silenced by love, Deafened by the noise.

I can’t escape, I can’t run away.

Everyone here seems so calm…

Am I the only one who can’t breathe?

~

These wolves go for my throat.

I’m bleeding out, I can’t scream for help.

Would anyone help me if they heard?

Would anyone come if I cried?

~

We all know you’re living in silence;

Sheltered by a lie.

You’ve never seen death.

I’ll save your breath: I’m fine.

~

I will be here on the edge of this cliff tonight

I won’t fall, I won’t break.

I’ve been here before, I’ve seen the light of day.

Trust me when I say, “I’m fine”

~

Ashes call my name, I know I’ll be safe

From all of you wolves in sheep’s clothing.

How can I trust what you say

When there’s blood all over your face?

~

We all see right through your lie.

There’s nowhere to hide.

~

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from above.

I lift my eyes to the one who took my shame. 

I’m not ok.

~

I will be here on the edge of this cliff tonight.

I won’t fall, I won’t break,

‘Cuz I’ve been here before and I’ve seen the light of day.

Trust me when I say, “I’ll be fine.”
