As dawn glides

In the dawn of a day

Waking up to the rain

That is slowly erasing the trace

Of a path shattered 

By a raging crowd of hollowed souls

So tell me 

Why must it be this way

How can we be so vain ?

Little flickering life

Just wanted to grow up and shine

Brighter than the sun and stronger than steel

But life thaw it out 

Snuff it out so fast that

To the very end

Still innocently smiling

It left and never came back

I am maybe overly dramatic

Still, it’s truth

There no denying it

People walk by

 Ears and hearts sealed

Saying « It not me, it’s them »

But,  « them » is you

And me and everyone else out there

The world is beautiful,

A safe haven, a dreadful place

We strive for more

Love the joy, fear the pain

A very human way to go and blame

We whisper, laugh, cry, scream

A voice that matters

But drowned in endless illusion

Raise your voice, look around 

Naive, maybe 

But really, what do you see ?

Leaves, waves and clouds ?

Or stress and noises ?

Open yourself 

Listen to music, dance

Stop counting what’s weights you down 

Close your eyes

Sometimes, that’s enough

There’s no wind in your world

But know this

People won’t always push you down

Or break your heart

Life doesn’t only tear apart

It’s easier to believe it won’t get better

Growing up feels simple in hindsight 

The complicated things fade

It’s hard to put into words 

But trust me, you can do better

Look again

What make you think you were vain ?

Maybe it isn’t that bad

Maybe you’re just too young 

To know better

Do those words deserve to be a poem ?

I wonder too

One day, you’ll laugh, thinking

« How was I that deep, that dramatic ? »

But falling a little

It’s part of becoming 

Greater things are coming,

Fast, determined

Already on their way to you
