Summer Night

I'm lonely here
On this Summer night.

To keep it blunt my folks are out
My sibling is out for a walk
Leaving me alone to wallow in self doubt.
Everything began going wrong
When I panicked about feeling greasy and gross
Without shampoo or conditioner to shower strong.
Then the water smelled of sulfer and stink
Leaving me to crumble as I bared my body to bathe
With an endless time for me to shudder and think.
Fear strikes me with an instinctive range of paranoia
Like eyes are on me all the time
And I just wish I were home and running toward ya.
I fear the worse without her in my arms
And I'm afraid of the night as I hear my parents outside, drunken sounds
Without much comfort in my charms.

It just feels lonely this Summer night
With everything going wrong
I lay on my bedside area
With that stumbling feeling of fright.

Oh, the loneliness on this Summer night.
