Poetry by Ozgen

Updated: Mar 27, 2020

It just hurts when I don't have anything left to say It's just sad when I don't want the night to end For a sake of a new day to begin without me, real me Just want to find real me Who truly Actually me I just can't sleep One more night Knowing that morning will rise Without me, real me. Mr. Ozgen
