"Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, 'I just don't care.'?"


I've made a nice little hole in my room

Lights dimmed, under covers, watching YouTube

I'll come out if you need me to

...text me when tomorrow comes and we're doomed

 

I'll make, time for,

watching you win races

I'll make, time for,

indecisive movie nights

It just gets to be too much sometimes

 

I've made a nice little hole in my head

Stories, magic, miracles, what a mess

I'd let you in if I knew how

...help organize or break me the hell out

 

I'll make, time for,

seeing your bright faces

I'll make, time for,

remembering what's not doomed

At the end of the day, I need you

 

Thanks for, hearing my song

oh Thanks for, proving me wrong

I'm sorry, everything's been said

Already, but the hole in your h - 

 

...

 

You've made a nice little hole in your head

Who could blame you; hey, it beats ALS

You don't know how strong you are

Or how strong I still think I am not.

Thank you so much! :) And well, I have a little tune in my head for how I imagine it would go, if that counts :)

Very nicely done. Nice rhyming, nice beat... Do you happen to have any music for this? It's honestly something I think I would listen to.
