Blind

Life is good nothing is wrong
But why does this all seem like a song
Waiting for the happiness to reach its extent
Like waiting for the rain inevitably to end
When all is gone and the hope seems lost
We’ll still stand here with our eyes glossed
Accepting the pain, terror, and decay
The solution to the problem we will delay
Living in limbo ignoring the space
Our lack of hearts stays them to not break
Continuing to pretend that everything is fine
Blind to the children alone behind the government lines

The Day I Lost My Dreams

September 14th the day I lost my life
Wait not life I’m still alive
Yet every cell is screaming that I’m in hell
That’s the day I was in an accident 
That’s the day everything went to 
You’ll be fine they said
Take a drink and rest they said
They failed to mention that my dreams are dead 
Every part of me screaming for help
But everyone I ask is then nowhere to be found

September 14th is the day I died
Wait not dead I’m still here
Something everyone forgot when I’m not near
I tried to reach out and ask for support
Then you act like we have no rapport? 
Drowning sinking barely surviving
Yet there you sit, clearly thriving 
Did I mean nothing?

September 14th I was in an accident 
I lost my dreams, I lost my future
Even though my heart is the only one needing sutures 
Inside I lost everything, outside is fine 
Only I can bear the pain that is mine

Standing here alone in this mess
Standing here being told I’m blessed. 
Blessed to be alive blessed to be here
If only you could feel the pain I fear 
Blessed to be destined to be broken forever
Blessed to be here instead of whenever
I wish I could go back to the times 
Back when my life was mine
Now it belongs to lawyers and doctors and family telling me that I’ll still “prosper”
My life is ruined. My dreams gone. 
Just left here to work for fing Amazon.
