Dreams pass
Lives change.
The world keeps going.
People fall.
People pass.
The world keeps going.
People struggle.
People rush by without saying hi.
The world keeps going.
When will it change?

I have had a fairly bad day.
Nothing exactly went wrong.
But have you ever just been so tired.
That you can barely keep your eyes open.
Have you ever had everything fall apart right in front of you?
Have you had a day where you are around everyone you love, yet you still feel bad.
Because something is making you feel sick to the point of wanting to throw up?
But you can't do anything about the situation.
Because it wasn't your fault.
But you blame yourself any way and doubt everything.

Everything comes back to you.
Over and over again.
I have told the truth.
Yet I'm the one punished.
For what you have done.

I could be brave,
Or at least I could try.
Lord knows I've had a lot of practise.
I could be stubborn.
I could match your decibels.
I could cry.
I could listen.
I could do damage or be damaged
If I thought it's what you wanted.
I could sing your favourite song,
Admit that I was wrong,
Be weak, or be strong.
I could plead, pray, or beg.
I could hold my head high.
But I could never be yours could I?

She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by
And never knew.
