Know

By SickSanityJenn

It is like you can read my mind
Put on a front and positive smile
You should know me better than that

Anything you say, I follow it blind
It is complete trust, not in denial
You should know me better than that

I am not alone, I will never be
Not with you standing next to me
I am not afraid of the path to come
Everything I do has already been done

Tangled emotions are on display
A mouth full of thistles and thorns
You should know me better than that

A tinge of sadness in what I say
Thoughts full of what I adore
You should know me better than that

I am not alone, I can never be
Not if you keep standing with me
I am not afraid of what's to come
Everything I do, you've already done

Enjoyed the repetition in this piece to re-enforce one major and one minor message; concerning personal knowledge possessed by the other person, and then doing and perhaps experiencing life too along the way. Almost like "hey you had yours; now it's my turn". A very understandable philosophy SSJ, and sometimes we just have to see for ourselves.

A very personal message to a friend that has been where I am, is where I am, yet feels the need to hold me above like I'm better than all of it and should be smiles and happiness when it's really only darkness, despair and misery. I try hard to not let him down and be the pessimist I am.... Putting up a front, but I'm like glass and it isn't long before cracks make their appearance
