To see and look away

To like and leave her sway

To not say not again

To keep in on the way

Drugging for esteem

The drug gives self-esteem
And so it feels
That it does
For short

I look alright
I sound alright
I seem alright
Heaven knows

An optimistic face had said
Coming out worse didn’t matter
Things had got to get better
As I moved to better things

I say it’s okay
It’s okay where I am
So long as I keep on
I see a better day

What a place to reach
I stretch from within
What a place to be
I have placed me there

I say it’s okay
It’s okay where I land
So long as I try
I’m in a better place
