Futile Prize
Winnalynn Wood Feb 2022
Sometimes life’s not fun
And you feel left by everyone
Just perhaps there was no one
That didn’t feel this at least once

You can be led in high water and survive
If you keep your eyes on the futile prize
Only the losers see it as a lie

Heart of Gold
Winnalynn Wood Feb 2022
You, come with me
You, come and see
As of late, I don’t know who I am
I hope you understand

That I’m trying my very best
Searching for someone to impress
I don’t know anything, but anyone can see

Following your own spark
Isn’t as easy as it seems
Finding your own start
Isn’t always so easy

So I’ll try to be, the best to be
Even in the dark
I know you’re always with me
Forever in my heart

No one cares to see the real me
Except your heart of gold
No one but you is that loving  
I can feel it in my soul

Tension
Winnalynn Wood Feb 2022
Cause I can feel the tension
we won’t mention
It could change everything
Cause I can feel the tension
we won’t mention
Will this change you and me

Daydreaming a little too much
Spins my imagination crazy
Say you seem a bit out of touch
What’s been happening lately?

Do you ever get lost in your thoughts?
You know I think about you a lot

Drinking
Drinking has been my only vice
It has been kinda nice

To forget my worries for a day
And cast them off faraway

Drinking to drown my sorrows, but my sorrows, they learned to swim
And cater to every unfortunate whim

Caverns
He didn’t want me at my best, so I gave him my worst
He didn’t want me or even ***, so I won’t be his first

Fading into the background in the caverns
The caverns of this fleeting beautiful person’s mind
Alone again, but still longing for a time
Where I could be wanted and I was able to want

Nor a version of who I am fabricated
Loved, desired, and celebrated

Without makeup and hours toiling on my face
Nor having to beg anyone with a pulse to stay
Let alone this soul who will slowly go away

— The End —
