Come what may

I'm still okay 

 

Although you are too afraid of what might be

There's still something about your eyes 

That makes me wonder what you hide inside 

 

I should be angrier 

And yet I'm only vaguely annoyed 

Perhaps I'm finally learning control 

Or I could just be numb

 

I won't wait

Not because you advise against it

But because life is too short for waiting

For what may never happen

And people who may never step up 

 

I know you are capable of so much more

If only you would embrace growth 

But you continue to hide behind toed lines 

 

So Come what may

I'm still okay
