Calm

When light fades away from your mind.

And the world is filled with cheats and lies.

You see your life fall apart.

You can't hold on, you're broken heart.

When you see your loved ones fade away.

And the rain pours down on your perfect day.

You hold back tears, you want to shout.

You fall down defeated and drag about.

Yet as your world crumbles beneath your feet.

And the tides wash over your feats.

You close your eyes and sing along,

To the screams of those who done you wrong.

And you think some thoughts of a better life.

For yourself to feel like you're alive.

Unlike a tissue, meant for waste,

Unlike a issue, pushed with haste.

Unlike a problem you cannot face, 

You close your eyes and see a better place.

You dream of a lovely song,

Filled with joy you yearn so long.

Despite the world hating your grace,

Despite the world leaving you without a place,

Despite the people spitting on your face,

You close your eyes and imagine nothing but calm.

And we know you feel left out and alone,

And we know you feel broken, defeated, and unknown.

And we know you think your problems have overgrown,

You must grab on to the threads of life and stay calm.

The answers may not be strictly clear.

Nor your decisions may not be kept close and dear.

But until the day comes, walk straight and strong,

And don't give up and think calm.

But until the day comes, walk straight and strong,

I promise, with time, things will settle and be calm.
