Gaslighting
I see blue and am told it’s black
In time I'm no longer sure
I walk each path and waiver
Catch myself, like times before
Is the fire hot, is ice cold
Every flower and every tree
Names I thought I've learned
Are not as clear to me
Did I hear those words
So full of love and sweet
Or are they an echo of my own
fall alone and far beneath
I ponder each again, this trial
As I just want it to be easy
A love that last more than a while
One that comforts and appeases
Crazy am I as I I've tried
Hard to hold what wasn't mine
To pulls words, that felt wrong
To stay where I don't belong
Crazy as you can become
To work so hard, but hard alone
Beg and will and cry and plea
To free this insecurity
Blue or black or red or green
I lost myself somewhere between
