It never hurts to help…
Until it does.
Until you lose yourself
To the crowd.
Life ain’t a fairytale.
No, it’s a darker turn than that.
The Disney-clean stories only
Lie to our faces.
When darkness comes a’ creepin’
There’s little anyone can do
To keep it from
Taking a toll on our minds,
Stealing our souls.
There’s a place we could find,
Where we could be ourselves,
A special place, outside of the
Conventional. Just take a step inside
My mind.
An enemy…
Is just…
An enemy.
And yet, the words that have no meaning
Still echo in my head.
Animated smiles show me my surrogate hope,
A single flower in the sand, my light on-screen.
