Atoms

Always without words

Emptiness: full of emotion

Wish I could show the way I want to feel

Always looking for

What I don’t need, don’t have and want

My emotion and will have become one

One in the same and one without the other

Living a cycle constantly

Following each day with each night

The more feelings I feel

The weaker I become

I turn it off just to overcome

My old friend sadness

The best friend that I’ve betrayed

Forgotten all he has seen

All he has washed clean

I have erased his name

Now again, time sits upon my hands

I wonder and brainstorm

I can’t remember the things we used to do

I’ve lost myself inside myself

I’ve lost so many years of you

I must find my pace and find my peace

That everyone so desperately needs

I must feel this pain

And all these insane emotions

To be the person I want to be

Break the chain of habits and generations

To find all the things I really need
