Melting Away

Location

Just another day, living the same old way

No risks, change of pace, new dance

But can I really just remain and stay

And never sway from this stance?

Another familiar tune and cliché

Delay, betray, and entrap me

And I’m stuck in the ashes of Pompeii

Where I pray to flee the static reality.

To partways from this way of decay,

This screenplay of passé and grey

Stray away from this valley of prey

And escape my mental melee

Change, transform, and renovate

Today, giveway, and headway to new

‘cause I can’t continue at this rate

It’s the endplay crossway of past and renew

And when I meet hardships and pain

I would know it is not all in vain
