It's sad that as we grow up the brightness in our eyes dims,
Our faith and hope gradually slim.
The stars disappear, they aren't as bright,
It all becomes opaque, the caliginous night.
Our voices get softer, our fear louder,
We prefer to be lonesome, oh we're such downers.
The last of our emotions drip out, the color in our skin drains out,
You don't hear not a sound out of us, though trust me, we want to scream and shout.
Our hearts expand but get quieter,
Filled with sorrow- heavy yet at the same time lighter.
We become so very lost,
We yearn for happiness, though we all know it'll cost.
Can't help but feel scared, paranoid,
We'll do anything to help fill the void.
We feel an emptiness in us- start missing nothing,
We want to learn how to trust, give us something..
It's sad that as we grow up the brightness in our eyes dims,
Our faith and hope gradually slim.
