I woke up today and it was dark
I dunno where I was
It was cold, it was wrong
I must have been lost.

I looked in the stream
and saw a face I knew
But it seemed afar and sad
Like there was nothing left.

A voice that seemed to echo
asked me something usual
why are you so sad child?
Have you no one to love?

Only myself I answered
And even that I couldn't do right
Maybe I am meant to be alone
In the wild where no life exists

I walked along the trodden path
The trees reached out their branches
Come to bed child
you are safe here.

I lay on a bed of flowers and grass
the night air embraced me
I counted the stars I could see
I was insignificant.

I woke with a resolve
To live for me alone
Even the wild couldn't embrace
someone that wouldn't embrace themselves.
