Compartimento 13

Didn't think the ground  would be so close When I decided  to take the fall I should be used to  the sound Of my bones against the  concrete floor My skin's grow thicker But my soul has not Agnes Hightopp

Is there something wrong Or is it just the weather (How can you promise over something That you know won't last forever?) Is it the lack of sunlight  In my skin that's making me crazy Or is it the way people pick me And then leave like a worn out sweater I used to crave for the cold months But my winters are growing colder As I grow older and bolder And the blanket of my naivety No longer covers my shoulders No presents under the tree No tree at all, why bother? No christmas lights on the entrance For years now no one comes over Is there something wrong Or is it just the weather That's freezing the air between me and all the things I love Or maybe it's just the loudness  Of the heartbeats in my ribcage that scare away all dauntless  who dares to get close enough.
