Not too long ago, not too far away

Ever felt so low in your life
that you become tearful
no matter what you do

On a warm day, you're shivering cold
Seems as though no one believes
what you say,
and doubt them
even though
you're pouring out your soul

Are you being swept away?
are they too afraid to delve further, in fear?
there isn't anyone who understands
you seek for someone to lend a hand

You're too volatile,
overruled by disappointment and frustration
Moments of weakness, of lost feelings,
and fear for lack of protection

You cannot think of reasons why
you cannot answer or say or try

When you try to hide in a shell
it's too soft
When you have many pairs of legs
they run too slow
When you feel small and feeble
unable to defend
there isn't a single thing you can cling on
not even from a tentacle's end.

The current sweeps you away,
further and further,
Tossed and turned into disarray,
Lost and alone
rejected, deserted, and unwanted..
