They always say…

It’ll be okay.

They always say…

Bad things won’t stay.

What if it’ll never be okay?

What if bad things always stay?

What if there isn’t a happy ending?

What if there isn’t always mending?

What if some things never change?

What if pain goes beyond the range?

Some things in life are broken.

Some things are better left unspoken.

This isn’t an escape.

This isn’t an excuse.

This is acknowledgement

To avoid self-abuse.

One day though, God will wipe away my tears [Revelation 21:4].

On that day I can truly leave behind my fears.
