Blanket, you’re always there for me in my time of need.

You’re the strength that carries me through my days.

The reason I know I’m enough in this crazy world.

Where truths and lies bleed together and telling them apart becomes more challenging daily.

But you always help me see the truth and find my way again.

My God, the one I seek and crave the most when things are bad but praise the most when things are so good too.

It is about to explode as you make a bigger mess out of everything so quickly.

I must have missed something as I watch you move around at an average rate.

But somehow, your hands create chaos whatever it touches, and then as you open your mouth, it spits out a powerful path of lies.

Leaving me feeling drained and insane with nowhere to run for sooner or later. You always find me, and the cycle of torture begins again.

So hard to hide and not get involved with the things that seem to rock the boat.

A boat that has been kept afloat barely for the last couple of months.

But every time you turn around, something new pops up like a snake in the night looking for new prey.

I received all the bites, but I keep going as those around me keep getting screwed over, and villains have no care in the world.

As if karma isn’t lurking in the corner waiting to strike and light up this boat that’s already filled with no hope of making it to shore.

Over the things, others do as there are no rules anymore.

Just do what you want and when you want to do it.

Your decisions are all that matter, and there is no wrong you can do.

Who is there to judge you when you are living for yourself and your focus isn’t on those around you.

And so the trouble starts, the fingers start pointing, and they all hope it falls on someone who didn’t see it coming.

Trying to be all that I can be.

But what is it I’m meant to be again?

So many times, I’ve asked myself this question only to feel like I know it, but I question myself again?

When will the self-doubt and uncertainty about my present and future reduce, and will I be clear on who I’m meant to be?

By me, as I play you, a beautiful melody will reach inside your heart and stay there even if it’s just for a moment.

I wish to leave my mark on you as I see you every day watching me play but staying so far away.

As if you feel the connection, I think you are too afraid to get too close, as if I’d reject you.

Like every other girl before, but I’m telling you through my words and melody as they both float closer to you every day.

I hope to win you over until you feel the love you were always destined to experience.
