A bag full of tears that
Flood the universe into a boundless ocean
Nourish the fruitless
Wash away the useless
Erode seemingly insurmountable pain
Drown me in dreams untold
Nourish my thirst for a tomorrow
A bag full of purple - a mix of red and blue
Blue heart
Red eyes
Blue veins
Red cheeks
Blue fingers
Red blots
Blue soul
A bag full of jokes
That free me from this world of
Depression
Stress
Anxiety
Nervousness
Anger
Pain
A bag full of plastic bottles to recycle
So that I can exchange it for
A bag full of change
A bag void of air
A bag that fills the hungry
A bag that empties the greedy
A bag of emptiness that's
Heavier than all the matter in the world
A heartaching parasite that sucks me dry
A gift from silence, shyness, depression, ...
