Faded Brick Wall
We may wake up
Looking at a faded brick wall
That covers our path
From achieving it all
We may have lost hope
And closed all our doors
Believing that no one cares anymore
Our world has came down
Our feelings are closed
The only thing left
Is to do what was proposed
I'll grab that rope
Step on the stool
End it all now
And stop looking like a fool
But before this is done
I'll take one last minute
To think about tomorrow
And what could've been in it
I'll remember the warm smile
That I received every morning
And that "Stay out of trouble"
I got as a forewarning
I'll remember that last Christmas
We spent laughing all together
Sitting around the fire
Keeping warm from the cold weather
I'll hope that my sister achieves what I didn't
To make my mother proud
And show the talent she has hidden
Will they catch that I'm gone?
Will I ever be missed?
Last time I noticed
My mother was blissed
Who will help her with her troubles?
Once I'm gone?
If before
I was the one she would always rely on
Maybe I should step down
And wait a little longer
But I can't anymore
There's no way I can be stronger
No one has noticed me ever before
Except a few friends
That would always get me off the floor
Maybe it is possible
That I will be missed
Maybe life isn't as bad
And I should check off my bucket list
Before I make this decision
I can never take back
Do i really want to give it all up?
And make it pitch black?
There are so many places I haven't visited
So many people I haven't met
Maybe in the future
Life wouldn't feel like such a threat
What if that wall wasn't there?
Blocking me from success?
It's possible my life wouldn't be such a mess
They say the grass is greener on the other side
But maybe mine could be just as green
Just if I tried
What if I looked away from the wall?
And out the other window
Maybe that's what holds true beauty
And wouldn't keep me in limbo
Maybe there's a side I haven't seen
Because my eyes were always looking down
Maybe tomorrow will come without a big frown
I'll step off this stool and give it try
And tomorrow will be a new day
That I will look straight in the eye
I'll show I'm not afraid anymore
Because I know that I'm loved
And there's still so much left to explore
So much more I promised
To those who I've loved
And those whom shown it back
Looking at this faded brick wall
I know this isn't my last track
This isn't where I stall
This is where I stop the attack
I'll ask for help
I'll let my voice be heard
And speak for all of those
Who can't say a word
There's nothing to fear
But fear itself
Because you are not alone
There will always be someone else
