Sometimes I feel down for no reason.
Sometimes I feel alone.
Sometimes it all just presses upon me.
Sometimes I just got to go.
---
Sometimes I get very quiet.
Sometimes I wonder around.
Sometimes I feel a weight on my chest.
Sometimes I don't want to be found.
---
It's times like this when I lock myself away.
In my room, away from my fears.
And my hoodie's around me,
And my drawings surround me.
And my ear buds jammed into my ears.
As my finger hovers above my phone
Ready to press play.
I close my eyes, and whisper to myself,
"I'm ready
Take me away."
