Our Reality
Life is simply a gamble of wit
and dismay.
We never truly win the war yet
we create so many battles until
all we have is ourselves.
As we grow the world ages
around us.
And the color we use to know
no longer glimmers as brightly.
As if our "training" wheels have
been removed.
Forever naked in humanity.
We cover ourselves blindly with
friends and loved ones..
For we are all alone and so very
scared..
As we grow beauty moves
away from our youthful
homes...
And the world is so very wide
and empty within a blink of an
eye.
Nothing stops moving.
Emotions are like fire and no
longer are considered
"adorable" or a "phase"..
They are either considered a
mistake or a mental flaw.
It's easier now to see the
darkness.
Fewer people will come to your
cries..
Fewer people will run towards
your aid..
And the sun will sleep within
the white snow.
Anime provides insight to this
blinding emotion.
And in a way keeps us mentally
sane.
