Audacity (day 141)

Sometimes I have the audacity

to be a liar with a little bit of honesty

Sometimes I take what you give me

and hide it away

 

Secrets shouldn’t be this easy to keep

Alone spills from my suffocation

but I pull apart knots, try to believe

in this everything

 

Sometimes I have the audacity

to be tangled and a little bit lonely

Sometimes I whisper beginnings

to keep you on my side

 

I’ll pour the ocean in your cup

Safe has never been what I want to be

Every day is a victory, a battle

and I stand straight to face it

 

Sometimes I have the audacity

to be passionate and a little bit crazy

Sometimes I grab the steering wheel

and yank it off the road
