Blue

You’re blue and soaked in tears.

No soul to trust, no soul to listen

Failure. Loneliness. Our worst fears.

Curled in a ball, weep and someone hears

You, tells you lies so you may “glisten”.

You’re blue and soaked in tears.

Liars claim, “The storm eventually clears,

You will someday be in a better position.”

Failure. Loneliness. Our worst fears.

Surreal thoughts form, whispering in your ears.

What shall I do to purge them? Fall to submission?

You’re blue and soaked in tears.

Everyone else achieves greatness and cheers.

Meanwhile, your soul and mind go through collision

Failure. Loneliness. Our biggest fears

You sit in silence with your peers.

They uplift you - you admit submission.

You’re blue and soaked in tears.

Failure. Loneliness. Our biggest fears.

No Longer.
