Philosopher

























Cry myself to sleep, cry myself awake.
Tears roll in early, tears roll in late.
Still amazed by the world I see,
Still overwhelmed
by you.
And to everyone else I'm the odd character,
No one else cries in the open.
To myself I'm just a philosopher.
I'll always choose wonder over need.
I drowned myself in this icy lake,
Only somewhere, you aided me.
And I cry myself to sleep,
like I cried myself awake
this morning

  3. Thank you so much DP =) I think that line is kind of thought provoking, and you can interpret "wonder" in different ways, I like that myself. And I thought the page would make a nice addition, maybe I'll redo it soon ;)
