Please Tell Me I'm Wrong

Please Tell Me I'm Wrong

By: Tyler Ross

There’s a panic in my mind

and I cannot seem to dodge.

I pace it slowly while I retrace all my thoughts.

The burning in my brain can manifest little lies.

It’s hard to trust you when you’re inconsistent

and you don’t realize.

This isn’t where I see myself

questioning what’s there.

Looking for irregular patterns

on a single colored canvass left bare.
You’re magnificent in all directions,

I’ll never forget to feel.

But please don’t leave me out in the cold

if you’re not too sure if this is real… 

Please tell me I’m wrong

for this doubt above me,

pushing me off this ledge.

I guess you just don’t know

how much I really care.

You’re selfish to notice what’s really there.

If this is serious, I want to know.

Do you want to keep on watering this plant,

and see it grow?

I get the impression, you’re bored, but feel so loved.

Caught up in a predicament,

you feel guilty because you want to run.

Please tell me I’m wrong

for this doubt above me,

pushing me off this ledge.

I guess you just don’t know

how much I really care.

It seems you’re selfish to notice what’s really there.

Please tell me I’m wrong.
