clumsy

throw away the radio suitcase
that keeps you awake
hide the telephone in case, you
realize that sometimes you’re not okay
you level off but its not all right now
you need to understand
there’s nothing strange about this
you need to know your friends
I’ll be waving my hand watching you drown
watching you scream
quiet or loud

maybe you should sleep
maybe you just need a friend
as clumsy as you’ve been
there’s no one laughing
you will be safe in here

throw away this very old shoelace
that tripped you again
try and shrug it off
it’s only skin now
you need to understand
there’s nothing fake about this
you need to let me in
I’m watching you
