These are the defining times
where you keep asking yourself why?
when the odds are all in the opposite,
and the love you need puts you aside.

When you seek for stars
but the sky only gives you dark clouds
rumbling but still you are expectant,
second guessing and wishing for the sun.

Times of denial and expectations
grinds you deep in your metal heart;
Stoked and horribly stagnant,
mourning your own so called home in the dark.

These are times of believing,
pleading for time, hope and the sky
when you find yourself strong,
asking yourself, why?

thrown and half dead,
efforts are lost in your own eyes,
grief and lost time with the odds,
still, founding oneself asking, why?
