Just A Troubled Mind Looking For Peace

Water

As cold as the water is, its as warm as it's going to get

But my head will keep on spining if I step out of it

The river flows, right above me

My skin, bumpy from the cold, shakes with every breath

My knees, slightly bent, ready for the run ahead

My mind, endlessly black, beats out of time

My heart ? Oh, that was lost by a younger version of mine

My hands clutch a book, waterlogger and used

My thigh shows the fight that I'm too afraid to loose

But the water has trapped me, so clear and pure

Why cant I be like it and clean others of their burns?

But I am tainted, killing what I touch

I hope this prolonged shower will wash away that much
