TO GROW OLD
BIG AND WARM SMALL AND COLD
DULL AND BRIGHT
FILLED WITH EQUAL SHADES OF LIGHT AND DARK
NEW BORN SMALL AND INNOCENT SMILES OF PURE HAPPINESS
SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WILL AWAIT HER IN THE FUTURE
BUT DOES NOT CARE BECAUSE ONLY THE PRESENT RESIDES IN HER MIND
A LIFE OF NATIVITY OH HOW I WISH TO TRAVEL BACK TO THOSE TIMES
THE WORLD IS FADING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME
TEARS FALL LIKE RAIN ON A STORMY SUMMER NIGHT
ACHES AND PAIN, BRUISES AND CUTS
BUT NO WAY TO DEFEND AGAINST THE WORLDS NEVER ENDING TURMOILS
SOON SHE LEARNS HOW TO COVER WITH A MASK SO THE WORLD WILL ONLY SEE HER SMILE
BUT THE FACE OF THAT GIRL IS SLOWLY BREAKING APART
LIKE THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
A LIFE OF NATIVITY HOW I WISH TO TRAVEL BACK TO THOSE TIMES
SHIVERS RUN DOWN MY SPINE
THE WORLD IS COMPLETELY DARK
A BREATH OF AIR RUNS ACROSS THE NIGHT DISSOLVING INTO THE ABYSS OF HER SOUL
HER MIND IS CLEAR AND SEES THE WORLD AS IT IS
SHE WONDERS HOW WILL SHE SURVIVE TOMORROW
TEARS STREAM DOWN HER FACE LIKE A NEVER ENDING RIVER
HER BODY MIND SOUL AND SPIRIT ARE BROKEN
THAT WORLD WAS BIG AND WARM, SMALL AND COLD
DULL AND BRIGHT
FILLED WITH EQUAL SHADES OF LIGHT AND DARK
SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WILL AWAIT HER IN THE FUTURE
BUT DOES NOT CARE BECAUSE ONLY THE PRESENT RESIDES IN HER MIND
OH A LIFE OF NATIVITY OH HOW I WISH TO TRAVEL BACK TO THOSE TIMES
“ IF YOU GAZE LONG INTO THE ABYSS THE ABYSS WILL GAZE BACK INTO YOU”
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
