Little space

Voices

Choices

Noises

Pointless

I feel small

In the middle of it all

The world so tall

I hear them call

My name out loud

They're so proud

Then knock me down

On the ground

I feel like nothing

While they're fussing

Loudly cussing

I need something

To help me calm

When everything's wrong

I hum a song

It won't be long

I slip into little space

Not a trace

Of my original age

I'm in a daze

I'm in my youth

Process the truth

No thought of a noose

I slowly soothe

Myself to sleep

Not a peep

I fall in deep

The rest of the night this calmness I keep.
