I let the wind sweep my unspoken words away

I hear the children laugh and play
I can't remember a day I was like them

I let the clouds hang heavy above me
rain somewhere my regrets can't touch me

I kept them close
we fell backwards
the closer I believed
further away we pushed ourselves

I taste the lost sleep on my lips
I carry my youth in a coin bag

the winter hides the pain
we fall with the autumn leaves
let the wind carry my being

One truth
One consistent voice
One authentic face
One vision
One clear perception
One profound impression
You are naturally beautiful when you are oneself

tell me

im taking drugs like im taking breaths,
staying alive is harder than i expected.
