These songs are my words.

of Sorrow. of Joy. of Pain.

They keep the numbness

from my brain.

They tell me how

the sun beats down,

of its warmth and happiness.

And even though it’s dark and grey

Their attempts never sway.

These songs are my words

of Desperation. of Bliss. of Fear.

They tell me what I need to hear,

that I am beautiful with some quirks.

They keep me safe and warm;

never in the way of harm.

These songs are my words

when I don’t know what to say.

Please,

Don’t take them away.
