empty bottle

Putting my name in an empty bottle. 
Throwing it into the ocean,
Wishing it farewell as it  drifts away
 I put my name and into an empty bottle
 I let it float
 as it floats away
 all I remember
 is putting my name in an empty bottle
 putting my name in an empty bottle!
 Will it  remind me of all the things I did or done
 things that I can't rewind or forget? 
 I walked on the shore of the ocean
- I found an empty bottle.. 
 I pick up the bottle hoping it's not mine
 but yet I find it different name inside
 Not only was my name in a different Empty Bottle
 it shredded up the pieces of feelings I felt inside. 
 finding Another Empty Bottle
 with this same feeling inside
 knowing I'm not alone
 but there's only one way for everyone to hide
 you drop your feelings down deep inside
 you don't let them show
 not until everyone targets you
 that's your Empty Bottle
 take your name and put it in that Empty Bottle
 put all your soul and your feelings in that Empty Bottle
 break the bottle throw the bottle
 find something to do with that Empty Bottle
 people ask why you choose an empty bottle
 Do you want to be a box full of things moving from house to house?
 or do you want to be an empty bottle that you can shove more feelings into
 do you want to be that kid that everyone bullies
 or do you want to be that empty bottle where no one has to see it?
 finding more and more reasons to hide in An empty bottle 
 What am I going to do with this empty bottle I relate to it
 that  empty bottle is me
 me is that Empty Bottle
Now what do I do with this empty bottle
 we heard them say
 just a dumb Empty Bottle. 
 that Empty Bottle shatters
 that Empty Bottle is me.
