Overwhelmed 
Overjoyed

This girl was afraid
This girl felt alone most of the time
A few close friends were her saving grace

This boy was active
This boy was wired
This boy was different

You take deep breaths and hope for...

So many people I've lost.
So many hurt
So many gone.

Up for sale, you will find.
Nights of voyage in my head.
Boarding ships of pink and red,

Which is not much
The leaders seem out of touch

Clawing until...
