Overwhelmed

I’d been lying if I said

That my mission is done

But I’d like to pack my bangs

And walk alone

A hot sun shriveled the flowers

Through this silence

I can’t make up for lost time

My feelings don’t keep the balance

One day I was set out to change the world

Face the evil; move in the cold

But now, my hopes are drawn

And my fears overflow

During my path I met

Wises telling the same things:

Figure out your soul!

Don’t believe in human wings!

But this road is danger

It’s difficult to control my anger

Many times I feel me thin

When I fight without win

By the weight of my emotions

I live in circular motions

This anger burns my heart

While my dreams tear apart
