Wishing for a change*

I gather my tears up in a bottle and float it out to sea.
Watching as it drifts away, perhaps now I am free.
Free of sadness, free of pain, free to sleep once more.
Freedom to sleep good dreams of happiness is all I wish for.
No more twitching, no more screaming, my breath will finally be steady.
And I will wake from those dreams when I am good and ready.
No cloudy brains and baggy eyes, no more lying on the floor.
Freedom to sleep good dreams of happiness is all I wish for.
 
I gather my fears up in a bottle and float it out to sea.
Watching as it drifts away, perhaps now I am free.
Free of anger, free of hurt, free to breathe once more.
Freedom to think about good things is all I wish for.
No more fear, no more pain, no more reliving the memories.
And I will think none but happy thoughts with these beautiful remedies.
No fear of people and little trust, no hiding anymore.
Freedom to think about good things is all I wish for.
 
I gather my love up in a bottle and store this one away.
Wondering who I will give it to come the perfect day.
Locked away up in my vault, no one can touch it there.
I just don’t have enough left to give everyone their share.
I save it for the ones I love; my mom, my dad, my brother.
And in the days that are to come, I will share it with my lover.
I feel I’ve found him, I’m pretty darn sure, but time it will take.
Before he can be there every morning when I am to wake.
