Give Up Finding One Good Reason

Empty room, echoes scream, shadows creeping,

Hands on the clock just keep on cheating,

Time moves forward, my heart retreats,

Every step I take feels stuck in repeat.

Lost in a maze where the walls ain't shifting,

Soul so heavy, like the ground keeps lifting,

Windows to my world cracked and bleeding,

Hope’s a ghost, and it’s barely breathing.

I give up finding one good reason,

To fight the weight of every season.

The sky keeps falling, no more pleading,

Heart on pause, soul receding.

Tears dry slow, like paint on a canvas,

Words unsaid build walls, no passage,

Mirror spits lies, reflection a stranger,

Every thought a knife, each sharper, each angrier.

Dreams die young, buried in the backyard,

Life’s a movie, I’m the scene they discard,

Graveyard mind, where the doubts keep breeding,

Clocks tick loud, but time ain’t healing.

I give up finding one good reason,

To fight the weight of every season.

The sky keeps falling, no more pleading,

Heart on pause, soul receding.
