I learnt to let go when I was younger,
Scared of growing old,
I would swim far into the ocean,
And Try to stay afloat,
Until my lungs would cough up water,
and Sand would coat my bones, & I hope,
That someday I'll open up the floodgates,
and Let the lyrics flow,
Someday I'll understand the dry taste,
When the words are trapped below,
Some days I wonder if my airway,
Is clogged with all the quotes, that I wrote...I feel worthless,
Maybe I should open the drawer,
Burn the pages,
Write poems with the ash on the floor,
Pour the ink, into the sink,
and Watch it drain from the shore...I don't want love no more,
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for,
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most,
Now I'm afraid to be alone...I learnt to grow old when I was younger,
Scared of staying young,
Afraid of the thoughts that I had conjured,
That sat atop my tongue,
Knowing I'd change the worlds opinion,
If they would just, listen up...
But they won’t, now...I feel worthless,
Maybe I should open the drawer,
Burn the pages,
Write poems with the ash on the floor,
Pour the ink, into the sink,
and Watch it drain from the shoreI don't want love no more,
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for,
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most,
Oh, I'm afraid to be alone...Looking in the mirror like,
Maybe I will find myself tonight,
I ask for a better mind,
Then tap into the site through my third eye
I had never realized,
I thought I had a chosen my design,
I thought I was broken all this timeI don't want love no more,
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for,
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most,
Oh, I'm afraid to be alone...
