safety on the shore

dancing resolves issues only temporarily. like a band souvenir, lost and found but never finding home again.

positive energy negated and deleted by anxiety, insecurity. i am more than another hanger-on, yet i do hang on. with nails that catch and break with every slip. and when i'm there, shifting with the gale, i'm trying to hold still, be constant. but i need you more than you need me. and one day i will slide too far and i wonder who will be there to catch me when i fall.

maybe you would all be there with nets spread wide for me and pull me to the shore. you said, it's ok, we're friends, you're safe here. and i will be. i will be safe.
