A Thought

Such a time

when the flowers bloomed

the world would sing

its melody

just for me


Such a time

when words were brighter

the sky was lighter

everything living

in harmony


Such a time

when there were no worries

the world didn't hurry

I was just

living life





But then, it seemed

like so much more

a gentle whisper

a reassuring hug


But now, it is

the fear

binding down on me

the hurt taking over me

a scream in

the silent night


Shadows hunting me

taking me

stealing me

somewhere I don't want

to go


Is there escape

can it be done

it doesn't seem like

this battle can be won


However, I am still

I am still alive

it may not mean

as much to me now


The words devoid

of meaning

only a statement

with no proof


Without love

life is not the same

but it still matters

I guess

maybe I can

befriend my demons

and sulk

in the shadows

of the forever

blinding sun


What else

do I

have left?
