Shadowy glances, hanging heads, anticipating doom,
In every nook and corner, those tales of misery loom.
Some try to keep the faith, but everything falls apart,
These shaken sobs are the sounds of a breaking heart.
The roads are so twisted and theres a long way ahead,
Heavy hearts, heavy eyes, every breath inhaled with dread.
Some look for possibilities, believing in keeping hope,
Some wish to avoid the reality, some wish to just elope.
The reality is here, and now there's no running away,
Its real, and its getting more real by the day.
Lift up those heads, or hang them in hopelessness,
Its just a matter of how this sadness is expressed.
Constantly reminded of how it should have been,
'Could's and 'should's and 'would's are sprouting from within.
So I may have stumbled & fell, I may have stood my ground,
But the stumbling and the falls just keep coming around.
If there's a chance, any chance, then won't you tell me now,
That there will be an end to this, that it will work somehow.
That there's a key to opening this cage that has me suffocated
That there's an answer to these problems that have me aggravated.
Will the Sun ever rise again in this darkened land?
That once knew all sunshine, where everything was grand.
Once, the only tears that dropped were when happiness was too much
And now they drop just because the smiles do not budge.
Barren now, no one to cultivate those blissful moments of peace.
But peace turned into pieces, and the ghost of gloom was leashed.
Go away, I don't want you here, haunting my existence,
You haunt me with pride, rountinely with persistence.
I cannot see what is blinding me, because I'm losing hope,
I cannot see the power that will help me climb this slope.
Something is not right because I see those smiles shrink.
So I ponder about a different side, I now start to think.
This tale is just a story of another house in a city,
In just another country, that no one would care to pity.
Just one tale of misery, of thousands that are there,
In your mind, pestering the world, they are everywhere.
Not me alone, its not just me having to face my fears.
Misery haunts the world of people far and near.
And then I think about how its no reason to not smile,
Fear and sadness won't make my life one bit worthwhile.
Then something whispers to me gently in my ear,
The words start to make sense as I begin to hear.
Its like my heart speaking gently to my mind,
Slowly releasing the toxic feelings that had been confined.
My heart whispers: Get up, get going, because you're better than the worse,
You're not alone, you hold your hands with the entire universe.
They all think they go through the worse life can get,
But there are people who would die for these kind of upsets.
So even though I'm breaking down, even though I'm lost
Even though life is complicated, and some things cost,
I'll make a choice to be thankful through all thick and thin,
Not think about how it is and how it should have been.
And even though the walls of this house are falling down,
I won't let them fall, and I will stay my ground.
And even though some hearts are breaking beyond repair,
There's someone waiting to fix them up - someone, somewhere.
I cannot change now what is done, it was what fate had brought,
And even bigger than my problems, is my ever lasting God.
There are going to be last dusks, there will be last dawns
But time won't stop ticking and life will go on.
