Bloodstream

(A poem inspired by Ed Sheeran song titles)

The A Team seems far from me,
Living in the shadows, it’s hard to see.
At the Castle on the Hill, I hide away,
Photograph memories of a better day.

I’m Thinking Out Loud, but no one can hear,
The weight I carry, the hidden fear.
In this Dive, I feel so low,
But my Bloodstream is strong, won’t let it show.

Shape of You—the man I am,
But inside, I’m just a fragile lamb.
I search for Perfect in a world so wide,
But I’ll find peace Afterglow inside.

Happier is a word I long to feel,
But with time, I know wounds will heal.
From the Tides of struggle, I’ll emerge anew,
Like Shivers of hope breaking through.
