Curtains of Life. I can feel the numbness flowing right into my skull, Through my brain, I’m blurred, I feel so dull, Holding on to the failing curtains, I perceive, These drapes of life giving up on me. Open them and they let me believe, Let me wonder about the things I see, Showing me happiness and pain, withdrawing beauty, Showing me visions of pure insanity. Clutching on to the green river of velvet cloth, Looking speechless at everything that I’ve never sought. Life’s the curtain that opens so bold, It’s lets upon me the truth, and its bitterness unfolds. Try to close it, and you fail, Once opened, you’re locked up into life’s jail, Looking onto the people about you, You hope and pray that all this misery isn’t true. The crowds of individuals, locked up, like you, Each one, gaping outside, cursing taboos, Everyone seems as dumbfounded as the other, Life so opened, everyone seems smothered. A cold bolt of reality hits me hard, Every scene of the earthly sin leaves me scarred, Being a human, I have to live with these, Close these curtains upon me, please. I want to stop grasping these imaginary drapes, Showing me the faces of everyone who hates, Pretending to not care, showing me every sacrifice, Refrained from ignoring, I can’t shut my eyes. Let me be, let the innocence that belongs, stay with me, Torn and shredded, I’m losing my sense, The burden beyond the curtains of life is too immense.
i agree, i'm running out of things to say aswell, so i'll just stick with AMAZING. I love how you take something simple suck as curtains use it to explain something so deep and difficult, great job.
