Mind Control by Britney Zaparolli
Why should I be afraid?
It is only a relaxing day
if I let it be
instead of knowing I waste my mornings going in circles.
It is only a knot in my stomach
if I let it be
instead of the guilt I feel for having hurt you.
It is only time to myself
if I let it be
instead of knowing I'll always be alone.
Maybe bliss is only here because of ignorance.
Maybe life is exactly how it seems.
Either way, these fears are here
only when I let them be.
