How Long
How long
Before the water allowed to to flow through
How long
Before the wounds from the ax have permission to be shown
How long
Until it's allowed to defend itself
Without being made out to be the villain
How long
Does the lid need to stay on?
How long do I need to keep on this mask?
Sunny days are nice
But clouds with rain exist and need to let out their water
The plants are pretty.
Because the woodsmen covers up the cuts they put in trees
Everything's made out to be perfect
Because if they say anything,
They'll become the villain
Everything's nice.
But how long?
When the lid can't hold anymore,
Then what?
What could have been a simple shower turns into a flood.
We try to make everything look perfect, but at what cost?
