You are the smell before the rain

You're right and I know it
But I've learned not to show it
I have built up a defense
It's stronger than your walls
because mine is invisible on the outside
they're seeing what I need them to
but on the inside I know that I'm slipping away
from anything resembling being okay

There's things we didn't tell each other
to protect ourselves to protect one another
eventually I'll face it but for now I'll just place it
in words on a screen that I know you will read.

I'm taking some time to work on myself
Because I won't let it happen again
I'm taking some time to figure it out
because the point was to not get hurt but I am.
