Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Looking at my whys
and not liking the lies
I believed for so long
Seeing where I went wrong
a little too after
any given disaster
Making sense of it now
doesn’t help somehow
Knowing how far a simple “no”
would have let me go
But my timid
kept it hid
behind yeses of glass
Letting it pass
in an intimidated cringe
without challenge
Don’t disrupt the peace
keep it within reach
Hold it in
again and again

again and again

It hurts just to think of it... and it never makes sense.
