These Things Take Forever. I Especially Am Slow

Just tell me you will
It's 2:58 and I can't sleep
In the safe zone I spill
All my feelings I can no longer keep
Droppin it like it's a skill
I know it's all kind of steep
Just tell me you will
It's 3:03 and I weep
This empty space you fill
Won't you take this leap?
I'm running, but i'm still
No promises I can keep
My stomach feels kinda ill
I'm a little more than knee-deep
It's 3:10. Just tell me you will

How Bad You Think You Got It? Somebody Else Got It Worse Than You

Run my fingers through my hair,
Suck in deep the cold night air
Not sure if I can aid
But you better believe
All effort is made
Just wanna see that all is well
Take away a piece of your hell
As I work as hard as I can
In behalf of my fellow man
Maybe a piece of this confusion
Will hinder the illusion
That i'm here for only me
And other people i'll start to see

Rhyme inspired by Nelly "Nobody Knows"
Special Attention to the part of the song at 2:30 and 3:16

There's a place inside that you can hide

I'm sitting on my bed, wearing nothing but red
Listening to the same song over the same
I listen intently as the artist sings, "Eye of the Hurricane"
Think about the life I live,
and wonder what I choose to give
The rain, the wind, the storm around,
I can't even feel my feet on the ground
It feels like I might stop breathing today,
But my lungs expand and live anyway.
I ask myself as I stand in the rain,
"Am I riding the Hurricane?"
