The Way to Despair


 

I remember the time I looked at the sky

How beautiful it was in a shining way

Looking at grey skies that suffocated my lungs

Nothing would ever make me disappointed other than this junk

 

Every step I took I felt the pain but it never ever gave me a way

If only I could remove this junk I could find a way

I didn’t like how it all started with a light blue mask covering my face

If only I could find a way

 

Get me through this dark grey mist that covered the brown rim in my eyes

The skies weren’t beautiful anymore in any type of light

I want my previous time back where everything was beautiful

Like that mysterious day where I saw the gloom of the dark night

 

I used to see blue skies everyday but now it isn’t blue

Now I see the opposite way of this unordinary flu

The mix of colours that shot an arrow in my eye

Don’t drag me out of this gigantic lie

 

All I see is a sludge everywhere

Not a mix of colours but a mix of despair

This terrible change of weather that bought me pain

A permanent tattoo that would stay inside my brain  

 

I had enough of dancing in this dark mist

I had been lost since the day the pretty skies didn’t exist

This world can’t get enough of this incredible amount of junk

Throw it inside a garbage can rather than on my way

 

This modern world I fear myself, where do I go?

I am falling in this dirty, dark fume of disgust but couldn’t show

All the bad times I am unable to find myself

I am falling and falling but can’t get up anymore

 

I am longing for change in this way of despair

Too tired to feel the voice that I have been reaching out to clear

Not even I can turn myself down

Can’t feel me because the skies have disappeared
