my feelings are in soda bottle
shaken up and about to explode
splattering liquid rage all over this page
this is not about being angry and going off
this is about wanting to be alone so bad
taking off no matter the cost
by land, sea or air going anywhere
T minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 lift off I’m there
in search of a place no one’s been before
where I don’t need to lock doors
where I won’t hear footsteps anymore
though that place may not exist
I remain strong and not weak in my persist
to find the memories and times that I miss
the times I smiled like a child
tasting ice cream For the very first time
why can’t we just find something
to laugh about when we’re crying
our eyes out over all the things we lost
in a place where no one can find us
the troubles of the world can blind us
we must continue to go on
through the storms that pass
in the night we’re just too complex to see
how simple life could be If only we just
stay in the light It’s just too dark at night
to see what lurks That’s why so many get hurt
drilled in the dirt I have to go to work
feeling emotionally injured
about the screams that broke glass
the sound that the wind makes
when spirits are passing through
it’s just a part of living something I have to do
