Things As It Is
Glasses shattered
Soul fractured
Calamity strikes
Hearts restless
Pain endless
Darkest night
Hands quivering
Cold and shivering
Feeling to die
Is there any beauty? Any high?
Ever?
Small moments of bliss
Of things as it is
Breaking the lies
A child with a smile
Green grass for a mile
Willing to try
A rainbow in clouds
Light all around
All of it mine
Steps on a floor
A wide open door
Time for life
But why? Why strive?
Notice
Life is beautiful
Life is better
And that’s enough
To reach the sky
