Odd Hopes

 Odd Hopes

~ Miss A

You try to die, and free of the pain because you've been wronged,

I keep groping the hands of life, because there's nothing like true justice,

But we do have something common, our eyes empty trailing the horizon,

You can't get past the eyelids, I can't get inside it. 

Look across the city, sounds of traffic, skyscrapers with lights bedazzling,

It looks so cozy out from here, but really is it?

As uncanny as it may seem, this is where we belong,

Tarnishing hopes and reeking jealousy. 

We make no amends to change it, for it is what it is,

We just somehow want to escape this matrix,

Purge it with our energy, that our souls don't have anymore,

We see ourselves in accident, a way to end the lure. 

Weakend and worsened, there's the enlightenment,

Of anything it be, but nothing can be worse than this,

On the bottom of the well you see another hope,

But odd hopes like this don't go nowhere.

It takes you with it, or you learn to live with it,

Either way, no points of gain, no paints of lose,

There's a scared light inside of us, when it burns out,

There's absolute darkness, but you know us humans, we adapt.

On the edge of a wall, you either take a leap, or you take a leap,

A leap across is rebirth, a hope that it'd never be,

A recoil, where you choose to live with the fact that you can walk blind,

Weren't there some sweet lullaby, that used to put us in sleep at night. 

There's no debris of crisis, it's locked and it's stored and boxed and thrashed,

But a memory so core, the key remains in the sight,

Remembered last September it was cold, it's June now, it's till cold,

With everyone so indifferent, I've started to feel bold.

What an odd thing to say, what odd hopes to have,

Merciless as it is, I still now down to the stings of this life,

Happy to feel it all, happy to understand the numb,

The day we leave this world, we'd pray our thanks again.
