on nights where the moon hides behinds the stormy clouds,
a treacherous thought seeps into my heart,
'what if I find no one who'll get me just by the look on my barren, emotionless face?
isn't life all about finding peace with someone who is willing to latch and hold on to you even while the whole world shatters.
then, what if I'm fated to be all alone in this big, scary world with not a single soul to stand beside me.
what if there is nobody to catch me when I tumble and fall down in the middle of the road,
and all I am left with is my pitiful self to pick me up with bleeding hands and a scrapped knee.'
these train of thoughts fills my headspace and picks at my soul and mind,
making me forget who I once was before descending into this madness.
and now oft at times I wonder if there was ever a time I was truly happy
without the weight of the world on my shoulder.
