I’m stranded in this wasteland
Between pure joy and deep despair
Where bitter meets with sweet
And broken dreams float in the air

Staring at the bright side, I recognize some good
Though my view is limited underneath this heavy hood

A cloud consumes me, engulfing me in depression
How can I stand to not buckle under its compression?

Waves swallow me whole
Darkness seems to tear away at my soul

Falling: that’s how it feels; helpless, hopeful, squalling

All I ever wanted was so close, I could taste it
Almost didn’t have to go out again and chase it

As quickly as they came, my dreams disappeared
Shadows replacing the beliefs I had once held so dear

Only when the sun is high and the world is again clear
Will my beloved thoughts and dreams ever think to reappear
