THE WEAK MIND

When you are born, you are full of life
dreams and aspirations are alive
there's no mountain you can't climb
there's no eye you can not blind
with the brightness of your future
till it suffered a huge rupture

Life happened and it crashed
your hopes and all were crushed
all you see in the mirror is your shadow
the burn was huge and you wallow
in self depreciation and shame
as others play life's game

In your spectrum you were the brightest light
until you hit a rock and embraced the night
now whenyou move you don't leave the wall
it's the safest place in any hall.
nobody notices, nobody sees, nobody cares
you prefer it this way because there are no scares

You crave the blissfulness of oblivion
it numbs hopefully every unvoiced affliction
its a sweet but temporary healing
for the ones you can't handle, those feelings
it's better to keep quiet and be invisible
than to embrace the pain and become invincible

People always say that you should cry
it's liberating and soothing, they imply
you know when you cry, you will break
the lack of tears is a tower you make
in the guise of strength, you are falling apart
alone you walk on that lonely path.
