Flawed we all are
Trying our best to keep a guard over our hearts
As we face the world and its iniquities
Our mind ran pass our heart real swiftly
Decisions not always remaining good
Yet sometimes we maintain a lesson life instilled as it should
Some of us would rather just explore and have fun
Perhaps the rest looking for love
Differentialities always lies so why compare?
One thing stands rare
Loneliness is faced in the aftermath of bad experiences
Revealing a new side becoming known
Perhaps for protection
Story only oneself can tell regardless of intended deceptions
As each day passes, we are left with a commonality ,
Inevitable loneliness.

Youthful to adulthood experience in an unfair world
Criticism and violence continues to take a turn
Ancient history seems like a lifetime living
Costs and finances are enough worries to begin with
Trying is far from good enough
Immediate change is what is craved
Desperation to claim
Attempt for silent cries and bruises to fade
Saddened hearts raised as one
The gruesome tales wishing to be undone
Immediate change is what is craved
Shy prying eyes became a loud snare
Shouting for the help, wishing it was near
Losing a battle
Oh what a fear
We are all at loss, "birds of a feather flock together"
Defeated questioning  constantly ringing
How to protect all the ones we surround?
Immediate change is what is craved

Cup empty
All energy draining
Heavy disappointment follows
Ones who thought were true turns hollow
Cup empty, once overflowing
For wrong reasons suppose
Focus landed on surroundings
Faded focus layed on reflected image
Cup empty
Desperate to find substance
Purpose grasping
The desire to stand out as a meaning
Cup empty , now a journey
Where only the shadow should follow
The ones thought true now left to hide
Unexpected growth to leave the past behind

The aftermath forever loud
Leaving silence caught in time
Like the introvert hidden in the massive crowd
Suffocating in the expectancy of life
Anger bursting
Nobody gets it
Fury of feeling robbed
Time stolen yet still breathing
The aftermath forever loud
How could one method suffice ?
One theory tested trial after trial
At this point anyone would give up
Knowing the change craved could never appear
Awakening the previous unknown deepest fear
The aftermath forever loud
This mask caught behind the curtain
No one welcomed backstage
No volunteers,  guess they are afraid
The truth is ugly but reality
Seeping near the surface
One mistake the filled cup will flow the wrong way
The aftermath forever loud
Brought a forever nightmare , night and day stands proud.
