a child of wars

light

Light,

See all this darkness used to be light

All these broken minds used to be bright

All these broken hearts used to be great

Water used to be thick

And love used to be tight.

All these chaos used to be quiet

At first sight,

You wouldn't mind to sit,

Sleep and get lit.

Drink and get high,

Chill with no peel

Just .....will.

But of course that was before,

A hole was cut into my soul

A long wall was put between my yesterday and tomorrow

Now it's hard to tell if I live or it's all metaphors.

Is it true?

Is the sky blue?

I don't know

I am just enjoying the show

I don't sleep so that I can't dream

I don't blink so that I can't sleep

Because past is a good friend

Our conversation never ends

I hate the present because it makes me pretend.

Is it light?

Is it white?

Or is just the moments

Replaying in my sight,

Messing with my mind

Thinking that I might forget

All the people around

And now is the loneliness that surrounds.

No, it's not the light

It's just that sometimes I get lost,

Sometimes I get cold,

Sometimes in April my body freezes,

Sometimes I play with my siblings,

Hear from my parents

And hug my aunts

But not for long, it's the only thing that hunts.

You call me mad,

For all this rain rains on my head

Does it hurt? Period.

It just blows me away

And I can fly

Rather than sitting here and cry

There, I meet what's mine

There, I dime

There, I shine

There, I call it home

There, I become sweeter than wine.
