Winded

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
