Remember

I remember
A time when the sun was dependable
Every morning by it I would rise.
I remember
The beaches with foamy white waves
And the sand that stung my bright eyes.
I remember
Sleeping amongst the tree ferns
And learning to live as did nature.
I remember…
Those are not my memories.
These are not my experiences.
I live in a cold dark world.
Where everyday paint splashes my clothes,
Leaves nothing but very dull colours.
I live in a world, where people are vain
Too busy to care about others.
I live in a world that has trouble digesting me
I cause it nothing but pain and destruction
And the mirror reflects what society neglects
Yet remains this mad world of corruption
With emotions detached and a mind breaking free
I become prey to an indifferent, storm-swollen sea.
To be engulfed again in the foamy white spray
Because I still have the choice to abandon today.
