Rivers
Jessikah Bailey 1988 (United States)
too many emotions
not strong enough to cope
the mourning of life as i know it
nobody to catch me when i fall
nobody around to stop my tears
needing, wanting intimacy
anything to take away my pain
one blink was all it took
for me to fall back into my dark hole
nothing to touch or feel
to know that i survived
just my tears and my fears
i can't bear this loneliness
i just want to be accepted
i just want to find me
nowhere to run or hide
these feelings i have inside
i guess i'll just let them flow
down the rivers from my eyes
