Pretend to be okay

 Things don't have to be okay.
The mind can crack.
The rope can fray.

Accept there'll be bad days.
people have a knack.
for getting in the way.

Leave the feeling of betrayal.
Time ticks clack clack.
every second a certain fail.

I hear men brag then go stale.
Go tight then predictably slack.
These women who wail.

Things don't have to be okay.
Share a piece of this forbidden track.
Nothing listens as you pray.
