The day the parade
went away...
It never existed
back in the day...
It was a fragment
of the mind...
That faded and
disappeared over time...
There were never
any funny clowns...
Just hidden illusions
to let you down...
Pretend it's all
been one bad dream...
Things are really never
as they seem.
Sitting and
just looking out -
dealing with
inner self doubt...
Will there be
a brighter day -
when the storms
all go away...
Stuck in
the same routine -
that doesn't even
mean a thing...
I wonder where
this will lead -
and when the chains
will all be freed.
Don't let
it stop you -
do what you
need to do...
Keep on going
for the win -
accidents will
happen again...
Laugh it off
heal your wound -
work will pay off
really soon...
Hold your head
cure yourself -
you are your
only help.
As they went
so shall we -
so shall you
and so shall me...
All of it
just swept away -
no more night
and no more day...
Such is fleeting
such is pain -
eventually
nothing will remain...
All is done
no more strife -
no more future
no more life.
Cry when you
need to cry -
when you have questions
ask yourself why...
Be careful who
you open up to -
most people don't
care about you...
Leave regrets
where they should be -
then take back
your own dignity...
Nothing that's here
will last that long -
believe in yourself
and remain strong.
Why oh why
do I do it again -
I wish I could go
back to when...
This wasn't even
a part of me -
now I know
and plainly see...
It shouldn't be
part of my life -
with my own hands
I twist the knife...
realizing how
I never will -
I'm choosing that
and to heal.
