Blown Away ☂

Life is wearing me out… I’m fading away.

So weathered, like a yellow leaf trembling as I stand

Autumn have come blowing me with every windy breath

It’s a long way down; it’s so far from the ground

My skin is pale, I’m breathing heavily

Carrying my burdens around - With an arched back I waste away

Wrinkles cover my face, coughing the years of pain

Infected, and it’s making my body shiver

Caught the Life fever; and no prescriptions for this one...

Chasing the unknown – Jumping for stars

But my fingers barely touch dust

The higher the leap, the harder the fall

Catching flaming rocks that never shine

Burn marks that scar on you failure throughout the years

The harder the fall, the deeper the sleep

World of illusions - Of running in the sand of time

Of being huffed, and puffed and blown away

Of running out of fairy dust and happy thoughts

A reality of lost in the woods

Of kneeling on your knees and praying the lord for survival

Of pieces of heaven for you to gaze at its beauty

But my dear friend, you can never come close to the forbidden tree 

And have a taste of its pleasures

Existence of surrendering to the big bad wolf 

Of taking a bite of the poisoned apple

Of time frozen at 12 o’clock and the magic is all gone

Wandering around with your pumpkin carriage and coal slippers

As the days roll and every little speck of sand dances its way to the end of the flask,

It gets harder to fight through and go on…

Hold on tight, find for yourself a shelter

For just when you'll think it's safe to stand back up, 

Winter will howl on you its thunders and rain...

Rain, rain, go away...
