Drifted By Feelings

Alone, By myself In a world so cold and so unknown Nobody else Knows the emotions that I know Going from feelings like the roughest edges of the highest mountains To the soft, mellow sounds of the river flow Having some emotions embraced And having some shunned Having some friends to listen To having none My eyes sometimes glistened From the heavy tears that fell Trying to hide the truth, for which I would not tell Days went by Eyes were never dry As the tears slid down my cheeks, Tap danced on my lips, And tiptoed to my chin, The truth began to show from the way my tears leaked, To the sway of my hips, Down to the writing of my pen Out of this world I drifted I'm down and begging to be lifted Mouth glued shut tight Eyes open wide expalining what I do night after night Touching bases with myself Is the key to bettering myself Mending my own heart Would be a great start To see a smile on my face again Is what I will enjoy in the end
