And It's Okay (Lie Lullabye)

And It's Okay (Lie Lullabye)

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield

Say whatever you want to say
I don't care
Do whatever you want to do
I don't care
And don't care if you want lie to me
Take everything from me
And leave me here empty and alone


And that's fine
And that's okay
I didn't need self-esteem anyway
I can get by on a false sense of worth
Tell me you love me so I can crash hard when I fall down
Away from the arms I thought would never let go


I'll make some excuse for your defense
Be the support you never deserved
I can be that wailing wall you need to feel your pain
Make my day, my life, all about the pleasure and comfort of you
Kiss your wounds as you make mine fresh
And it's okay baby, and it's okay, it's okay


Rationale is out the window
My poor pains have been shattered
They once viewed a soul but now show a void
I would love to be better, to be something more
But it's okay, your tiny tirade is more than enough
To keep me occupied, clouded and blind
To the light that once roared inside


So do whatever you wish, it’s okay
Keep my soul hidden, it's okay
No need for personal vision, it's okay
Even though I know this is wrong, it's okay
If I keep telling myself
If I say it enough
Maybe I'll truly believe that it's okay
I'll leave truth for another day

Author's Note

Blake Q Hatfield
I was listening to Elliot in the Morning, and they were discussing the whole Chris Brown/Rhianna situation and it really got me thinking. I can't really understand it, but I can see how the dependance is there. You can sympathize, but not truly understand. See the need for attachment, but not the way things go. But we all eventually try to see if we can, so this my take on broken situations.
