When All Goes Quiet
It was all going so well
A single high to break through the lows
Like a beacon of hope
For happier times
For a minute, it shone so bright
Blinding me to my sadness
But too quickly it faded
And with it came darkness
And my happiness crumbled to ash
A day that started off so fine
Turned to sour wine
And I lay in bed
Heart heavy
Bitterness coating my tongue
There's nothing wrong
Not really
It's just a silly little anxiety
That grows bigger in silences
But the night is one long silence
And the voice gets louder
And my world gets smaller
And I'm impossibly alone
And as the sun rises
As the day starts anew
My beacon rebuilds itself
And I'm as light as a feather
Desperately trying to ignore
The gravity of my mind
