It came out of somewhere
and it caught me off my guard
i thought i had lost it forever
i thought i had left it at the crossroad of my lyf, forever
but i was mistaken, cos’ it came back… that painful thought
I watched it as tears begand to burn my eyes
praying that it’d just go away
i hid deep withing myself
but it chased me everywhere
it finally caught up with me and
i watched it with fear, this tym in my eyes
It mocked at me while i stood there gasping for air
it reminded me, how painful it was to be a stranger again
it reminded me of the past and how it was so much like the present
of how dreams had been painted only to be washed away
How i had made promises to never let it happen again
and now, how i had painted a new one with too many colors
of a future that would never ever be on the cards
and of a dream that would turn into a nightmare snake
spitting its venom & reminders of failures on me
I tried to shake it off
and tried to avoid its hypnotic breath
i did not want to believe what it said
with the last strength in me i screamed at it
running away, i looked back at it & saw it waving back & wishing me luck… sarcastically
I came out in the open, here it was nowhere to be found
i saw sunshine, but i was still filled with doubts
i realized IT had gone after sowing it’s seeds in me
cos’ even in the bright sunshine, my mind is shadowed with clouds
Just a thought…
i am like a broken guitar
out of tune and strings, rusted or broken
