To Be Blue In This Red
By Arden Suvalle
We’re so numb
I feel so dumb
You seem so distraught
I remember what I was taught
Stop, drop, and roll
But it’s out of control
I could just sit here
And pretend like there’s no fear
I don’t feel much
Not the stuff surrounding and such
If I had more words
I’d say them
But for some reason
I don’t
And I’ve stopped wishing
And now all I hear
Is my own breath
Which direction do I steer
I’ve grazed the surface
Only get pushed back again
I’m trying my hardest
I’m watching the end begin
I’m so blue
In this red
It’s so true
Now how do I get out of this bed?
