Selfishness and greed
spreads across our nation...

Kick kick,
punch punch...

Walking the streets in the dark,
trying to dry tears in the rain...

Knock, knock;
your face at mind's door...

Who is going to wait for me
coming home from school...

I see you from my window
crying as I watch you go...

You must have suffered for so long
No one knew there was anything wrong...

A lingering grief
resurfaces each autumn...

Juggling pills just to try and survive
deep down in the dark...

I cannot let anyone inside my head,
I can only think of you instead...

Grief must leave this throbbing heart
before I become trapped within...

In the poring rain
on the cold cobbles of the street...
