Not The Reason

You are not the reason for my struggles
You are not the shadows on the wall
you are not the cause for all the breaking
You are not the winter after fall

You are not to blame
For anyone else’s shame
Don’t let any other angry face shake you

Don’t allow them any room when they try to break you

You are more than
Just a habit
You don’t have to
Follow the white rabbit

You are not me
I am not you
It’s so twisted
And we argue

Until we can’t breathe
So we can believe
The love is drowned out
By loveless self doubt.

She can cry.
He can swear.
She can burst into the air

He can catch her if she is falling
Who is that calling
It starts again
