Desert
In a desert not afraid
I've been on this walk for days
My pace becomes really slow
The desert night becomes real cold
I'm huddled up all alone
A shiver climbs all through my bones
I awake another day to find myself in this place
My bodies hot I can't think
My mind slowly starts to slip
My mouths so dry this aching thirst
Then it hits me in a burst
There is no desert it's only me
A thirst for life that can't be eased
