Park of Life
It’s a scary place out there
You know that too
With people wearing masks everyday
Living a masquerade ball
Ceaselessly
The colors never fading
The ringing always staying
But I stop in my steps
At this crazy amusement park
Taking in all the glory and the grotesque
The neon lights on the teacups
Going round and round
Keep spinnin
I shout
Spinning around the sun
And the moon
And back
Repetitively
Don’t stop
Let the memories keep runnin on the tape
The year has been long, my friends
How have you been holding up?
Can’t help but looking back to
The was been’s, the had been’s, the happened’s
The particles of sand fell with no delay
Still continues to run its course
Whether one can keep up with it
Or not
I screamed in pain
His hand in mine
Tightly grasped
Never letting go
I am lost
I am free
I am in pain
I am in ecstasy
A glaze of calm
Coats my eyes
The dimming excitement of youth
But nothing can be done
Perhaps I will get my sight back
Hopping in spontaneity
Ever so hopefully
Enjoying every ride on
This so called park of life
