Swirling colours all around
The wind whipping through your hair
Normal words don’t make a sound
Nobody knows that you are there

Empty shells across the beach
Lonely critters have no home
Subconscious voices you need to teach
No place or person to call your own

It’s like walking down a winding road
Where the end never gets nearer
Like staring through a looking glass
Where your vision doesn’t get clearer

The point of life is lost now
Vanished completely from sight
Moving on you don’t know how
Your goal was lost in light

Depressed is not the word
Emotions a jumbled stew
Screaming loud you cannot be heard
Wishing badly you could be new

Smiling doesn’t come easily
You lift your spirit with might
Your stomach’s turning queasily
As you wade through judgment’s night

Inside your heart is screaming
Locked in a battered cage
With no voice your thoughts are reeling
Hard eyes expressing unspoken rage

Eventually life feels normal
The same pictures over and over
Emotions so quiet stuck in a spiral
No desire to leave the corner

Feeling like a butterfly with cut off wings
A bruised apple left to rot
Feeling like a bird with no ability to sing
A desperate case that the world forgot

If you run as fast as you can forever
At some point you’re sure to fall
No love for once, it seems like never
You just can’t break through it all

That light in the distance is growing brighter
But up close it’s just a train
When it hits you you’re no longer a fighter
No will to stand up again

Please no more dandelions and stars
Wishing never works
All at once just emptiness and scars
You can’t escape the hurt

The world is colder, you’re growing older
People play you like a game
You’ve given up, curled in a corner
No strength to try life again.
