Shooting Star


I have nothing else in this world

But what's inside my head

All the pain, emotion and thoughts

Of the my loved ones, dead

 

But I know writing wont bring them back.

It always reminds me of who they are.

The time at the park, the time at the beach,

Bringing them back, I need a shooting star.

 

I write not to tell my life's story

I write to let others know they're not alone

Because I know I need help too

Or I wouldnt be dragging my knees on stone

I have been through a lot. Dealing with depression and anxiety. I write stories, poems, songs, and music. Much of my work is dark and depressing, just to represent how I feel on the inside.
