The weather is nicer I hear birds in the morning The days getting longer and louder But it doesnt feel like Spring I'm not excited for Summer The fear is not as potent But its left a void, an uncertainty Theres other poisons in the air More potent and deadly The streets feel like a battleground The laughter is sarcastic, hurts my ears The shouting is even more painful Its meant to hurt, to sting and linger I'm afraid, and its not just the usual I'm exhausted, and I fear its not just age Its almost contagious, I'm not the only one Theres a change, somethings different And I know its only the beginning There is still hope, but will take strength I don't think I can do this alone anymore None of us should want to be alone anymore
