Echoes of Mistakes
Beats of rhythms
Music notes blaring in our ears
A heart of colors
A darkness that will never fade, never falter
The pure water that is said to protect
To keep your heart locked in safe chains
As if those thought are the ones that kept us alive
As if we needed to love those thoughts with all out might
We see our futures right in front of us just there to grasp
We see ourselves running with loved ones and having a grand time
But when that time stops we are presented with our failures and mistakes
A spectrum of forgotten dreams
A cave of dark, deadly, crystal-like flowers
They bloom in dark shades of blacks, reds, purples, blues
A coffin of sins
Left to leave a horrific shadow of fear and dread
A darkened soul of emptiness
Fading memories of better moments
As the nightmares keep coming for us
Glass shards of a forgotten past
The tape that bound our mouths close to not speak up about ourselves
To not speak about our "problems"
As if they are too ugly for this world
As if once we are to talk about them we are to be taken down
As if we are the mistakes
The outcast
The losers
The forgotten ones
We were told the world was too beautiful for us
But really, we're too beautiful for this world to handle
That's why they stitch our mouths closed
So we can't speak out about how beautiful we are
We were suffocated by this pressure
Saying we couldn't be ourselves by society
Saying we had no choice on who WE were
Saying that we were the "wrong" in this world
We can't help but think they're right
We were told lies all our lives about how we were useless
How we could never do something to help another
We were the selfish ones
But they aren't true
They are simply ashes in a still blazing fire
We are alive for a reason
We were out on this Earth for a reason
We are not mistakes God tried to erase
We are the creations of God that were kept
We serve a purpose in this world
Some of us just haven't found that out yet
But we are meant to do great things
And some people do become corrupted by the devil himself
But God will always save us
And I know some don't believe he will
Or don't even believe he exists
But doesn't mean we should have any less hope for the future
The hope that we'll stand together someday
That someday there'll be no hatred and we'll be loved by someone
And I tell you now, we can't stop believing that.
