Thought Bouquet

Today, when I was on the brink And at a loss for hope and light Where tunnel lead to darkness And wishes were dead and dusted… My mother told me, it’s okay! To fall on your face To stumble out of race Or To lose your grace. It happens and has happened before! People have made mistakes galore They have wronged every right And have lost every fight! And those who drowned in sorrow And let fate take their course And remained lost in remorse Never saw a brighter tomorrow! While those who stood up To face life again, to erase their pain, Or to gain from their bane… have seen the Sun rise again from behind the impossible mountains of darkness , misery and regret to make and cherish their own fate!

The depression that has set in The sadness that ruins my brain I cannot wait to get it off Cannot wait to live again! For the flowers, all now seem grey And the sky is always dark For the rains never touch me like they did My heart and me seem miles apart! The water’s all gone black I really now want you back The times you are away and not here It seems all’s a lie and nothing’s fair!

The truth that is there That stinks and that rakes Is nothingness all over Beneath stories that you bake What you wish you can make Out of this nothing You can dream and fake But it won’t mean a thing Lies and lies, layers of ‘em Glossy dust to cover The naked truth and pain Garlanded and buried forever The dust will but dust off The lust of lies forsaken And truth shall hold aloft Naked, pure, pristine: nothing!
