Happiness is picking
Up a guitar and still
Feeling the same way
You did when you
First got it

I want to feel the burn
when it first meets the lips
creeps down the throat
and settles in my fingertips

I want to feel the warmth
once the drink is finished
the bottles are empty
and my worth is diminished

I want to feel the bliss
when it reaches my mind
makes me forget
and releases my binds
sky
Fear claws at the walls of my mind
Like a caged animal, trying to break free
Fear, the monster that makes us sleepless
The creature that makes paranoia
More than just an illusion
Yes, fear is trying to break free
And I don't know what to make of it
Come, take my hand
And I'll show you a hill
A green hill, and there
The grass is soft
And we can lie here
Looking at the clouds
Telling stories of our past
Our shoulders so close
That they almost touch
And our minds not filled
With anxiety
I hate it
How we break
Others down
To make
Each other
Feel better
Super loud shout out to Zoe and Timothy!
You two have no idea how much I appreciate your comments!
Sorry that I don't reply <3
Cry
If I cried
Would you
Comfort me?
