The water runs around me
I relax and let it soak my knees
As it's lapping up my body in its warmth

And the white sheet shrouds me lovely
I look down at myself and I see
Any single person I wanna be

But as the spheres run dry and leave me growing ****
I look up at the wall and realize that my white sheet dream is just as far away as it's always seemed
So I tuck up and I know that I am sad

And away
So very very very far away

Now I let the water drip away
Not like I'm asking it to stay
I'd rather have the real thing in front me

I cover up in my daytime clothes
But on the inside I can feel it and I know
Just who I really shoulda been

So as my years run dry and leave me growing rude
I look up at the sky and realize that my expression was never what I had truly deeply sought
I've ****** up and I'm hardly even mad

I'm a stray
But at least I've never pushed anyone away
At least I've never pushed my friends away
At least everyone got to stick around and stay
this is actually a song that I wrote but it reads fine as a poem
