I Bet
I bet if you’re happy
The shadow still lurks
I bet if you smile
It’s a little strained
I bet you’ve been told
To cheer up
I bet you’ve cried
Yourself to sleep
I guess we all know
That feeling
I guess that’s a smile
Your hiding
I guess it’s a bit silly
But isn’t all love?
I guess from all your clues
About who your crush is
I think your so strong
Even though you don’t feel it
I think too much as well
Going down those spirals
I think it’s difficult
To articulate these things
I think we can do it though
Beat this fear together
I want you to know
That this is a gift
I want it to be heard
I am not ashamed
I want you to understand
That this is natural
Cause emotions shape our world
And they do matter
You do matter
Always.
