Take It Easy

Haha, very funny.

I laugh it off

With the people I call my friends.

My face is hot

With embarrassment and frustration.

I cover up my sadness

With a gentle nudge.

But…

My heart is filled

With loneliness.

My soul feels empty

With all my problems going to my head.

I feel like

I’m out of place.

Wow, that really got me.

I nodded 

With a bright but forced grin.

I tease back

With a fake chuckle.

I shrug it off

With the knowing feeling that it’ll come back to me sometime in the future.

But…

I’m not there yet.

And I’m not going to wait.

I don’t have to fit in.

Why should I be like others?

I’d rather be myself.

All I have to do right now

Is focus on the present

And take it easy.
