Raw

what do you do
when your world is falling down
when you have nothing to do
and no purpose for anything
and smile only
to hide your feelings
2 steps forward
3 steps back
washing your feelings away
in a long endless bath
no i dont do anything bad
except in my thoughts
but im a good person
except my feelings are raw
i can take all the pain
but only for so long
yes im a good person
still my feelings remain raw
