I was in love with an idea once
A fantasy
But then reality came crashing down around me
Swallowing me in its waves
Disillusionment
Bobbing in and out of conscious thought
A fraught future
A dangling hope
How did we get here?
Where did we go?
We lost ourselves in the mountains of monotony
I see it in you
You see it in me
We are surrounded on all sides
As the sands of time eat our lives
Just surviving from one day to the next
Until the scorpion is at our neck
Unwilling to fix anything
Until it has broke
We choke on our inequity
As we flee from who we’re meant to be
