Black
Grey
Fading
Mist
lurking in the shadows
but if one were to look closely enough
they would see these hidden figures
almost resembling a person
Merely a shadow
forgotten amongst its virtues
and its beliefs
but if you can squint
tilt your head to the side
look really closely
then you might be able to see
these hidden shadows
they can tell their tales
of life
loss
and sorrow
so if you can see them
don't forget to say hi
...
No string holds me
No chains bind me
Nothing is holding me back
But you are still here
by my side
The wind blowing your hair in your face
And I'm not sure if I care
But why have I not left?
I have every opportunity to go
But I haven't gone
How friendship holds the tightest bonds
Watching you walk toward me
like a cat hunting its prey
But I remain stuck in the air
This place of agony and pain
I force myself not to go
Not go come running,
crumbling into your arms

And I look deep into your marble blue eyes
Refusing to break my strong gaze
Never
I gasp
Again
Sighing,
I turn around
Not to look at you
standing there with your slitted blue eyes
ever again.
again, random thoughts put into words.
A heave in a deep breath
adrenaline courses through me
making my weak body shudder
I struggle
I huff, annoyed
My legs feel like ice
my head pounds
Sharp pain echoes through my shoulders
My world
My life
crashes beneath me
in one single blow
I drag myself to my feet
sighing heavily
gasping for breath
*Even you can't keep me down
I stand here
Tall
Happy
Feeling better than I ever had
The single light receptor
In this black and white world
I walk up to the dock
I am two steps away from the boat
I am two steps away from home
do I go?

The only decision
that could change my life
for the better
or for the worse
Just two steps

I look back at my mom with tears in her eyes
Just looking at her says everything
I need to go

But then I look back at my sister holding my dog
And just looking at them
Makes me want to stay
I need to stay

Just two steps
splitting my life in half
Do I go?
Or do I stay
My old life of comfort
Or a new life of adventure

Two steps
one step forward
one step back again

*Do I go?
When one has to make a decision he or she has 'split their universe in half' Making It even harder to choose a side
Je prie, j'ai peur
Je ris, je meurs
Je joue, je gagne
J'ai mal et je me soigne
Et j'ai le même sang que toi

//Translation\

I pray, I'm afraid
I laugh, I die
I play, I win
I hurt and I heal myself
And I have the same blood as you
