A Frozen World
Breaths of fleeting laughter
Violently commence
But hopeless hereafter
I wade through this pretence
A smile that hides their scheming
A shadow with a rope
As they embrace me coldly
Their darkness binds my hope
All that’s left of courage
Can’t overcome their lies
As their silent words will haunt me
Closer if I tried
Boldness left unsheltered
My heart spilled on the streets
This icy world consuming
Whatever’s left in my defeat
But breaths of silent laughter
Now open up my eyes
Their fears did not consume me
And I can see beyond their lies
Somehow I am smiling
And suddenly I’m free
The sun delivers wisdom
And the fearful now retreat
