Little Blue Pilot Light

Poem

​

Is it okay to be okay with just being okay

To pause my flaws and ignore what other people say

Is it okay to go on my own to be alone

Double down on debt that I know I'll have to pay

But it's all fine; it's a fair trade

To go out wading for a live hand grenade

That seems for most to only blow silently

But for me inexplicably explodes violently

I guess I'll have to make my own way

​

I wonder whether that's okay

​

For a skin full of scars makes for a strong hide

To bulwark a body that's hollow on the inside

But the abyssal vast darkness bleeds a brilliant white

The flicker of a flame of a little blue pilot light
