Sometimes thoughts can be so strange

Juxtapositions!

Cradled in the lap of happiness, dreams and desires

A transformation, sublime shift

A nightmare, an intimidating fear

As I crawl up the stairs

A drenched feeling, raindrops and tears

Oh, the horror of changes!

Burdened! Are you already?

Do you know from where these shadow lines appear?

Spoken words have led the way

With so many more left to say

But I still see an absurd feeling intervene

Pulling me away!
