In the beginning
School is a jungle
You get lost anywhere you go
Tons of animals
Never someone to help you
Alone and powerless
You fall:
No one to pick you back up
Until I met him
There to catch me if I trip
If I get lost
If I feel alone
If I feel surrounded
I know he’ll be there
If he still cared
Because now love is rejection
It’s a typhoon
It’s a wave
It’s my whole entire being
dedicating itself to the flow of misery
My tears fall down
creating a whirlpool of sadness
painted across my face
For everyone to watch
And to behold
To witness all my feelings
washed out to sea
