I’m noticing you. Your eyes are weighed down, And your smile is fading away. You’re throwing your life into an empty bottle. The more you struggle, The harder it is for you to wake up every morning to what seems like another wasted day. As if the sun doesn’t touch your skin anymore, Your pigment is disappearing along with your eagerness to live. You have a wound from an arrow, That has yet to close over. But listen to these words darling, Continue your life but not the way it is. Dedicate to one thing that makes the butterflies in your stomach flutter, That makes your mind float away into the clouds, And that makes your smile appear again.

Falling Apart
I’m noticing you. Your eyes are weighed down, And your smile is fading away. You’re throwing your life into an empty bottle. The more you struggle, The harder it is for you to wake up every morning to what seems like another wasted day. As if the sun doesn’t touch your skin anymore, Your pigment is disappearing along with your eagerness to live. You have a wound from an arrow, That has yet to close over. But listen to these words darling, Continue your life but not the way it is. Dedicate to one thing that makes the butterflies in your stomach flutter, That makes your mind float away into the clouds, And that makes your smile appear again.
