My original

All my life these twenty three years,

I’ve lived with a shadow of quiet fears.

Waiting for endings for something to bend,

Hoping the cycle would someday end.

Good things come or so they say,

But life just loops day after day.

I’ve searched for peace in silent skies,

But it slips through like whispered lies.

Remember me for faster sign in

I’ve feared the future, feared the fall,

Feared the silence of it all.

And through it all i hoped for change,

For hearts to soften to rearrange.

But people stay the same it seems

Still trapped within their broken dreams.

So I just wake and do it again,

No reason why, no real end.

The days just pass, all look the same,

No one to ask, no one to blame.
