Chris Steele - I Am Not Well

Well how are you, you look great today
They say. Ok. Well you look great too
I guess. It's hard to say
From so far away. But what can you do

Word on the street's a poisoned treat
To haunt my wounded soul
I must repeat my daily feat
Of getting through it all

But I'm a mess of deep regret and fear
You'll catch it if you get too near
But for all the things I try to soothe
I'll tell the truth

I am not well - I have fallen down
Waiting for the
Better times to come around
I am not well - I am down a hole
Can't make me sound
Can't make me whole

I didn't choose to be this way
I want to heal but I don't know how
Is there room in your life for me
Cause there's space in mine right now

The night is dark, my light is dim
Fear is real and hard to dismiss
I'm sorry for my mirthless grin
Life's too short to feel like this

So listen to my truthless rhyme
As I fret and try to pass the time
But for all the things I try to soothe
I'll tell the truth

Things should be like this
God I miss the simple treat
Of walking on and
Passing friends along the street

Things should be like this
The warm embrace of kindred hearts
Instead of stumbling on
Alone by fits and starts

If things could be like this

Well how are you, you look tired today
They say. Ok. Well thanks for that
I guess. It's hard to stay
Bright and shiny all day, with where everything's at
