Sometimes I Need Space

I don’t always tell you what I think
Sometimes it’s too heavy for a mind of sun
This cloud can brew a hurricane
I don’t always smile,
and I don’t always highlight the positive
Sometimes, the negative wins.
 
Sometimes I just need a hand to hold
Sometimes I need a kindred soul
But sometimes I need space more than a friendly face
 
I don’t always joke around
And I don’t always make a sound
Sometimes my silence speaks a symphony
Painting what’s in me
And I don’t want to worry you
It’s not worth what I’d put you through
Your golden heart doesn’t need a case of lead
It needs love instead and…
 
I just might
Decide to fight the lonely fight
Sometimes I need space more than a friendly face
 
Sometimes I need to find myself
Find solace in my prison cell
Sometimes I need space more than a friendly face
