Emotions of Ebony

Past, Present, and Future Times

In the past, we were at peace
White walls surrounded us
Our lives were reflected by light
We were clothe with love
Innocence flowed through our veins
We knew nothing about the dark
Perfection existed within us
Our hearts were filled with purity

In the present, we are weak and desolate
Shadows are able to penetrate through our barriers
Now, black walls keep us from escaping
Each day, we suffer from horrible tragedies
Many of them were caused by us
Though it is pitch black,
Stars could still be seen shining above us
Some try to fly to them
Others just fall deeper in this broken world
Not reaching for the hands of the ones rising

In the future, we will gain strength in different ways
Some of us will absorb the light
And will open our eyes to a clear sky
We will hunt down the wicked
But we will struggle finding our way back
The rest of us will swim in hopelessness
And will continue to grow blind
We will hunt down the pure
But we will struggle losing our way again

Was there a time when
We returned to yesterday?

Is there a time when
We aren't going receive the gift of misery?

Will there be a time when
Our tomorrow will be known?
