College by James Barrett

outside
another clouded mind
another clouded sky
but your eyes shock me back to life
you say you don't know why I'm sad
well I don't know either
but I know something needs to mend
but my body won't fix the havoc on my end

I don't want to go home
but you need some time to grow on your own
I wonder why I can't feel the same
but I only have myself to blame

and yes there's days I cry
because my emotional integrity is as weak as the heart in me
when I try to say I'm fine
the future is frightening my fragmented mind
so why do I feel this way?
when all that long for is change
but I'm scared when nothing stays the same

I don't want to run
I don't want to hide
but I fear the world outside

will the ink on my body forever mean the same?
does my place inside your heart still pulse when you hear my name?

I don't want to go home
but you need some time to grow on your own
I wonder why I can't feel the same
but I only have myself to blame
