A bag of emotions
Come out in portions
When life is already in motion
The rays of the sun evidence of the continuous spin of this circle called life

My heart is heavier than usual
Like the weight of the coat of a homeless boy
That acts as both a house and a garment
My feet only move
Because gravity allows it

I need a hug
Even if its from a thug
The only thing I care about is the warmth
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so chilly
Like ice cold water
Was poured in buckets
On me

Please make it stop
The world is too loud
People are too proud
To admit that they're losing it
Even in this heat
They wear the leathers found on car seats

I need a hug
Can I please get a hug?
I feel stuck
Maybe arms around me
Would kick me into motion
I need a hug ....
