I'm that line of song
You knew you wanted in
But second-guessed yourself

So,

I wander in search
Of another poet
Who will sing me to Sleep.

Wanted then unwanted, then the cycle repeats. Who will forever stay with me?

That was really sad... And the metaphors were interesting! And Lira, you don't always need a poet to be happy! Become a beautiful song yourself! And not just lines in other people's songs. Good job :)
