when singing failed

I screamed

and the bars of

my cage finally

shattered

into a million pieces

of freedom

It's been so silent lately...
It's gotten lonely up here,
The days become just like the day before,
And I fail to see the light in their eyes,
The cries of the crow drown out the sweet songs of canaries,
The wind's music no longer satisfies my soul,
I want to go back
To the nothingness I came from,
I want to return home,
It's gotten lonely here...

I miss sleeping on the rooftop of grandma's house and lying down under the clear night sky,
I would stare at the shy moon and she would sometimes stare back.
I remember the stars winking at me,
The cool breeze would caress my face until I was asleep,
The crickets would sing their lullabies,
And my mother and aunts would chatter the night away.

I remember how happy everyone were,
I remember days where worries wouldn't plague our minds,
I remember their simple smiles,
Their resonant laughs,
I remember those simple days,
I remember you...

When you're feeling low.
The gods will give you a second chance at life, sometimes.
It's all in you to go find it.
You might find it in a paper cup.
In a bowl of soup.
In a can of sardines.
In a broken treebrach.
On the internet somewhere.
Sometimes in yourself.
When you're feeling low.
The gods will give you a second chance at life, sometimes.
Sometimes you cant find it anywhere.
People will talk down on you.
Only if you really find it.
People will talk down on you.
But if you follow the truth.
It all won't matter in the end.
It's better than not finding the truth.
And not be ridiculed at all.
As these regards last longer than life.

Come, hold my hand and let us dance,
Let us dance our youth away,
Let us dance this grey day,
Let us dance to the music of your laughs,
Let us feel alive again,
Let us dance beneath the moon,
Beneath the stars,
Upon the dune,
Let us love,
Let us dance...
