Feeling lonely, feeling sad
Feels like I’ve been bad.
Feeling so much
Feeling nothing, feels numb.
Feeling heartache
Then feels like I should run.
Away from all this feeling
Feel something no, feel none.

The method is exquisite
The outcome unpredictable
But that is the thrill of life
Live it.

Sadly, secret murky tiled
No hope, destitute merciless bile
Twist, turn fight and bat
Get to where the strength is at
Mess, mired deep down in
No way open can’t begin
Mutter, sputter rage and fume
Makes no difference
The rose still blooms.
