Moodie Forester

someday i will try my best to hang on
to falling raindrops
that melt into the window streams
i hope in time i'll break through all my pointless layers
and be able
to feel the sun sink through my cells

but for now
don't wait for fools like me
i'll never stay and keep
keep you safe when there's a storm
i'm quickly finding out that no one here
will find what they are looking for
in all the cold corners of the world
silver lining, never shining

i'll watch my friends turn into alcoholics
God bless these misfits
for sharing dizzy evenings
count the steps
i'm 22 and climbing down the stairs away, away
to keep my head under this doubt

but for now
don't wait for fools like me
i'll never stay and keep
keep you safe when there's a storm
i'm quickly finding out that no one here
will find what they are looking for
in all the cold corners of the world
silver lining, never shining
