Jan 2018
my once sunny sky
is now ominous black
now no one sees me cry
no one saw me crack
the sunshine made me grow
optimism was in my blood
now this air of sadness is all i know
engulfing me like a flash flood
the people around me think i'm crazy
and maybe i am just that
nowadays my life just looks hazy
half the time i don't know where i'm at
losing my grip on that sane feeling
spiraling, it's like i'm losing everything
where's my sense of safety, of healing?
how much more pain can three weeks bring?
there's a boy that loves me more than i deserve
will life dare to take him away from me, too?
as the days pass, i slowly lose my nerve
just a broken girl, with no clue what to do
i once was chasing the sun above me
and now i'm drowning in the rain
the fog surrounds me so i can't see
so much anxiety, so much disdain
where's the sun, where has it gone?
what did i do to deserve such darkness?
with cloud cover like this, it'll never again be dawn
my world, once glistening, just reeks with starkness.
