Help me get up

Pressure slammed my body

My left arm is hurting

๐ŸŒ‘

Shadow trees sway through the night

The city is dark

No one in sight

๐ŸŒ‘

Momma, where are you

My path is leading nowhere

My stomach is turning

๐ŸŒ‘

Sounds of people talking

But, I donโ€™t see them

Somethingโ€™s knocking

๐ŸŒ‘

Where are you

Where are you

My friend

Darkness looms

Time is flying

The flight has crashed

๐ŸŒ‘

Come save me

Little butterfly

I want to fly free

Without pain

Come save me

Little Butterfly

The silence weighs heavy

๐ŸŒ‘

All I see are teardrops

Dropping

One

By

One

๐ŸŒ‘
