Simple as ray of sun,
Nothing wary this way come,
Light as air with things as this,
A constant state of bliss.

Years unstoppably pass,
Cracks in heart’s thin glass,
Worries fast, past and new,
A jagged phase made its due.

The gleeful sun is clouded now,
Life can’t seem to add to the low,
Aches weigh me down,
A fight is seemingly ever ‘round.

Everyday tighter is the bind,
Shorting my nerves and stealing my mind,
Suffering is the beam,
Fortune friends kill my esteem.

I claw and bleed to be on rise,
While ever faced with my demise,
Can no longer tell what I lack,
Because my memories are charred black.

Now is just a huge grey cloud of apparent magic,
Of stress and nerves, pulled tight to tragic,
Will things be bright and smooth someday,
Everyone else seemed to happily answer but…

I simply can’t remember.
