A Better World

Soaring into the blue skies, look down 
The grey myriad of life's endless mysteries
Dreams lost in a sea of deceit
Seeds of doubt sown, look around 
It's too late, there's no saving grace here

A new world, let's build today, now
Scribbled notes, capricious thoughts 
A box of crayons and rekindled hopes

A world where you and I can tell the difference
Between forgiving smiles and constant fears
Stubborn pretence and true acceptance 
And where the colours are infinite and beyond 

A closet of cold disguises and fickle masks is no closet of ours
Let's make way for happier surprises then
And bring that smile back on your face

I liked your inner better world and idealistic great expectations.We may meet in our mutual verses looking for an acceptable world :”Let's make way for happier surprises then And bring that smile back on your face”. By the way :What is the theme of your project? Both English theme and theme of life for the future? Best regards.

Thanks for your feedback. I don't have a specific theme. My style is mostly dark imagery with an escapist feel to it.
