I used to think that happiness was all there was to life
And I had a hard time, striving...
I used to keep my shadow side kept hidden deep inside
And then my mask slipped, I was hiding...
...
I invite my heart to speak
What will it tell me?
It feels closed to anything warm
So this may take some time...
...
This too shall pass or so they say
But in this moment I am in pain
My eyes are leaking
My head is sore
...
Up and down I traverse through the vale
This ladder of success serves greed and fear
Sliding from systematic democracy
Gaslighting the masses with rose tinted glasses
...
Netflix delivers
Tiger King craziness
Giving me shivers
Netflix delivers
...
Sakura, Sakura
Shake your branches for me
Oh, cherry tree, with your good education
...

Before that words were not.
As time ticked by, words were picked up
...
A tangible void,
The paranoid unemployed ache and quake
From wars outdoors; a cacophony of misery,
Myopia of liberty,
...
