Forcast: (Un)changeable
Cloudless horizons
Cast shadows of doubt,
The future is brewing;
No escape route out.
Murky, addled minds
That knows no sense;
Opinions left idle,
Lingering on the fence.
Shady recollections
Of secrets well kept,
Meticulously concealed;
Persistently swept.
Cascades of despair
Pour down on poor souls;
Drenched by ambition
Of unreachable goals.
Sweet, sunny sentiments
Are salvaged in vain;
These anchors in chaos
Are tethered to pain.
Stormy grey horizons
Cast shadows of dread;
The future’s unchangeable
So just ignore it instead.
