Temporary
I still feel lost
Even after all these years.
I hid from my fears,
But at what cost?
Sometimes I swear I'm a stranger
In that land I call my mind.
I didn't think I'd find
In myself this amount of danger.
Shadowy walls caving in.
Realization that I'm alone.
Or course, I've always known;
It's my only sin.
It creeps upon me noiseless:
The idea that this world
Has nothing not unfurled.
This life is merely pointless.
Waves of heartbreak and pain;
Only slightly ever pleasure.
But against what can we measure
When there's nothing here to gain?
In the end, we all perish
To a fate all so curious.
And all we bring with us
Is the memories that we cherish.
You can almost say for certain,
That none of this matters.
Happiness, scars, tatters,
We'll all close our curtain.
