If I could
Would I take the road
Into my own self
Meet me again
In the face-to-face mirror
The person I am today?
Would I be strong enough
To face this boring life
Write new stories
In this old book?
Would I be brave
Embrace
Not change
This old self
When I see him coming?
No guilt
No regrets
No fear
At last finding hope
In this collective mentality
Normality
Simplicity
Life of mine?
If I could
Would I?
Have you noticed
The most beautiful views
Can only be seen
After walking through
Longest
Darkest
Roughest paths?
Tell me your pain,
Why do you bleed?
Is it in vain?
Can you listen past the words
Clinging your soul to the music?
Come along with me
On the road less taken
A place where
No one is forsaken
There you spread your wings
And fly in an endless dream,
Senseless us, one.
When the music stopped
Her old body dropped
“I ain’t missing the days”,
She said, “no, no more”
Look up, look forward
The world dragged her down
“I ain’t looking back”,
She said, “no, no more”
Snow-covered mountains
Corpses hiding underneath
“I ain’t running from the sun”,
She said, “no, no more”
Bring her the Book
Hold her hand and read it out loud
“I ain’t closing my eyes”,
She said, “no, no more”.
