Darkened Skies Overturned

I was finally happy with myself and everyone. Nothing in the world could bother me. Then everything, including myself, started falling...and falling...and falling.

I always fall. Though this time a little harder.

Not because I am dumb, but because I thought I was smarter.

Can you just catch me in your arms right now?

So I can hear you tell me everything is going to be okay, somehow.

It's not your fault, I'm to blame. I guess it was all pretend, a silly child's game.

Words unspoken, lips unable to draw. Upon your empty thoughts would you really catch them or is it a trust fall?

You brought me up, my spirits high, but only for the night.

My feet slam upon the ground, hard but upright.

Well here I stand, thrown away once again. I thought maybe, just maybe, something good would happen.

I can't stand to be lead astray. For I myself can barely see where I am going.

My eyes filled with tears, overflowing.

If nothing is wrong and nothing is right, how are you alright when nothing is left?

It's who you are in life that gets you where you should be. Be you, not them, just you, just be... yourself.

Why listen to what everyone else says? It's your heart and your life. I tell myself, "Do it for you, not everyone else."

I let them get too close, under attack, completely surrounded.

Stuck in my fortress, with war fought over love and hate.

I can't surrender now. For it is far too late.

In this state of worry and so called depression, I will be strong hearted and I WILL rise.

For in this world of black and white...I only need blue skies.
