Flowing

I miss not worrying about 
anything at all,
I miss being ok on my own; 
Now I’m busy thinking;
I want to but I can’t 
once again become numb; 

Flowing like ice in my veins 
 tidal waves crash;
Fragments of who I once was 
rebuilt into a brighter vision;

Emotions of a falling star
too much for the likes of me;
Keeping company with shadows 
no one there nothing to see,
but it was always so easy;

 Flowing like ice in my veins  
tidal waves crash; 
Fragments of who I once was 
rebuilt into a brighter vision;

Heavy is the price
of flushed paint;
When you realize it’s tricky 
to maintain the color;
With your handprints on my mind 
it’s simpler to remain broken.
