Tag: Loneliness

My eyes stop at the passage of time,
but all they perceive is a pushing, all around;
everyone is moving somewhere,
but nobody knows where, or why.

I try to deny the lie
that I am just another part of this life —
but the thoughts answer back again:
everyone is trying to deal with the same.

Holding a tail of fire,
they fail in their tries to cool the pain;
they try to live their way —
but this is not the far-off battle of life.

I glance at the sky,
and wonder what the driver of the sky wants;
dust in every eye, all around,
yet they shout out the lies of their rightness.

Everything passes by,
until only this hazy world remains;
I stop myself at that point,
and linger, wondering at this life.

We are trying every way to reach,
a new day starting with a shadow of cloud;
rushing to the end of the planet, but dispersed
off the life living across the street.

We are flying high, with fear nearby,
and like every time, time flees;
but little do we care, and less we look —
and it builds a sea across the street.

Are we blind, or just insecure?
Or are we building a planet of floors?
A few more takes, and the end is there —
still so far, from across the street.

We are trapped behind the ego,
living life on the stage of a show;
colours are lost into shades of darkness,
and we cry alone, across the street.
