I write bad poetry
to try and express my feelings
to pretend I'm in control
Just like the doctors told me to.
But all I feel is the numbness.
All around me is neutral.
I wish I could just be normal.
I was lost. I was so lost. I was lost in the dark and very far away from home. But I was lost with you. You and your lips and your blonde and your red and your heelies and your tattoos and your music and your books. We were so lost.
