Treading Water

The grimace on his face weeps pain

yet his eyes are dry motions the same

 something was taken away from him lost in the translation..

 Unaware of its dear importance

 He struggles for answers

 struggles to be sane

Sleep no longer an option The voices grow harsh

 The past seems so many memories away

But a twinkle in his eye is a reminder

How we could always turn for help

 How we pushed everything aside for eachother

 Like a fire burning through the woods Everything will take a toll

.. Some will die for some to grow

 Some will carry the fire with them Like he has

 Just now its faint

 As his mind is gripping onto all that’s left

 As we watch, afraid of what is next

 Knowing that this time the fight will be a battle

 Our laughs will turn to loud screams

 Dreams to be, become prayers for help

 I know he needs us so much But I cant find the answers

 A puzzle only he can unlock

 And as he did for us he can turn for help

 Help to push their voices aside

 And fill them with our own words

 Help to find the fire he’s left in us And regain his own

 A better life is not a delusion Better days are not just in the past
