Free

If i cry into the river
will it wash my tears away
I’m weary of hiding my pain
this life feels like a never-ending game
and I’m always losing
I hear the sadness in my voice
even when I’m trying to be optimistic
i feel the anxiety in my heart
for the fear of rejection is so strong
sometimes I wish I could bury myself
become one with the earth
isn’t that how seeds turn into flowers?
Maybe I’ll grow
but the seeds of my soul
they feel forgotten, rotten
I’m so afraid to let myself just be who i am
so afraid,
I'll turn out to be
someone who no one wants
so I flee,
maybe if i run fast enough
far enough

I’ll finally feel free
