Damage (the beginning of rock bottom once again)

novembertwentyseventhtwentyseventeen. this is when i ran away from home lol

I'm too scared to go home

And see the damage I've done

I'm too afraid to go so

I guess I've got to run

I wonder how much it costs

To get on the public bus

But I'm just gonna get on - even if it costs

My future - oh my God

I'm too scared to leave

I hope no one sees - me like this

I don't want to see the tears

Running down their faces

I don't want to see at all

Maybe if I was born blind

Maybe if I was born without eyes

I wouldn't have these tears to cry.

The first stanza is awesome. I actually wish I had thought of that. Overall it's really good. Something about the 2nd stanza feels cramped to me but I can't put my finger on what exactly that is. Maybe just word choice. Ended really strong as well. great job

Yea the 2nd stanza looks like a mouth full compared to the other two because it lacks the emotional context that's found in both other stanzas. Thanks for the review homie :)

Or a "traffic jam of ideas" rather than a mouth full
