Sign of the Times

♥

We all knew it was a pointless war but still we engaged. We all knew it was going to be bloody but still we fought. We all knew the end was near anyways. We all knew today was the last day, the end never felt closer, the end never felt more comforting. Instead of mornings we said, welcome to the final show. Some used a taunting voice. Some used a nonchalant voice. However, most said it with glees, as if welcoming spectators into the world pronounced circus, knowing the secrets behind mesmerising show and ready to exhibit the glory. As the end was around the corner, we stopped crying. We were all too tired pretending we have even an ounce of empathy. In fact, some were even glad that we were no longer bond on running from the bullets forever. So we dawned our best clothes and reminded ourselves the lie of everything will be alright. We all just want to get away from here. From the barren waste land we created ourselves. Therefore the lie, everything will be to be alright is not far from the truth. We stopped sugar coating for we long knew that we could not bribe the door on the way to the sky. We all knew that we really weren't that good so, we stopped trying. As we broke through the atmosphere, we agreed things were going to get better from here. At least that is the lie we fed ourselves. We said our goodbyes while we promised each other we will meet again somewhere. Hopefully somewhere far from here. The only truth we could confirm. We never learned in the end as we stopped crying, as we stopped talking, as we stopped opening up if there was a prettier alternative. In the end, it was too much. We have been here before one way or another and knew that we had to get away. One method or another. It was a sign of time.
