how do you know?

where's the line between being amiable, and being apathetic?

how do you know when something is a big problem, or whether you just care too much?

when is it time to sweep things under the rug, or time to let the shit hit the fan?

and when the shit does hit the fan, how do you manage to clean things up?

and if you do manage to clean things up, will there always be a stain to remind you of the truth?

how do you know what is right, or what is easy?

how do you know whether to let it go, or cling to something so tightly that you eventually give up waiting for things to change?

and how do you know whether you've become at peace with something, or whether you're just in denial?

tell me...how do you know?
