Searching For Norms
Depression is part of existence,
an affliction intrinsic to man.
And when reality unravels,
we are left to cope the best we can.
Loneliness is all too familiar;
you feel cornered; there is no retreat.
And when life's non-receptive to dreams,
you're dogged by failure and defeat.
A wave of confusing emotions
floods fledgling hearts as corrosive tears.
And tides of regret rise as you sleep,
stirring nightmares and dredging up fears.
Trying to find a pathway to love;
Hope enables hearts to take a chance.
But when lies camouflage the truth, your
dreams collapse as if pierced by a lance.
With fate in desperation's grip,
teardrops fuel emotional storms.
And plagued by melancholy feelings,
you're mired in self-doubt, searching for norms.
Love's postponed so that hope may survive;
trading promises for safer things.
And you hunker down behind your walls;
wishing you could flee on magic wings.
