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.

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 :)
