There's a small creature
who eats kind words
There's a small creature
longing for to be heard
There's a small creature
who sucks warmth out of others
There's a small creature
envying all lovers
There's a small creature
who's terrified of not being cared
There's a small creature
dying to be just held
There's a small creature
who needs people around to breathe
There's a small creature
unable to find peace
There's a small creature
whom I can't set free
Even though that small creature's
living inside of me
