Dark before Light

When I close my eyes,

I see perfection in all it’s dreams

When I open my eyes,

I see darkness with all it’s realities.

If you asked me why

I would not have an answer

For this is how’s it’s been for a long time

Seeking happiness in all this madness

Sweetness can not bite bitter, even if it had tried.

When I close my ears,

I hear the music swell up my mind

When I open my ears

I hear each tick of the rhythmic tock

haunting me with it’s long, ugly hands

reminding me of all the little risks,

Life can not beat death, even if it had tried.
