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
