panting for air,
running to nowhere

out of breath,
still trying to dig what's underneath

what's left is longing,
a soul seeking,
a mind wandering
let hearts be hurting

after the sorrow and tears
laying down walls and fears

let the fragile heart break
let the shakeable shake
no more trails of fake and ache

wait 'til the void opens
the emptiness awakens

beauty in nothing,
space for new fillings
throwing what's rotting

no longer chasing
finally, resting and stopping
It's okay to pause. It's okay to find yourself. It's okay to be real and raw. In the emptiness, we can start over again.

Many things can **** you here
From a spider to a snake
Every step is walked in fear
And could be the last you take

You can even die from heat stroke
or it could be from thirst
It’s happened to many a bloke
And you wouldn’t be the first

So while you're sipping on your beer
the truth i must confess
that the most likely reason you’ll die here
will be from loneliness

years of being ignored

she swallowed her words
they piled up in her pit
and turned to poison
she wished she was a snake
the kind who could spit

and dissolve anyone
in her way
