Will the Grass be Greener

Everything seems so different now

Uncertainty creeping into this world

once safe and sure

now infected by the fear of what will be

what does the future hold in store

will the grass be greener on the other side

as I sit and wonder what it would be like

where the sun shines so bright

on the other side

will tears escape the fortress I have created

my protection waivers dangerously

 strength crumbling beneath my fingers

walls crashing down all around

though I fight to keep control

will the grass be greener on the other side

 as I sit and wonder what it would be like

where the sun shines so bright

on the other side

the clouds roll in, an overcast mind

the haze covers my eyes

blinding me to what will come around the corner

unprepared, fearing I will have to do it all on my own

because I know I don’t want to be alone

will the grass be greener on the other side

as I sit and wonder what it would be like

where the sun shines so bright

on the other side

there is a storm brewing on the horizon

a hurricane threatening to ripe away my very reason to live

a blizzard sweeping in to turn my heart cold, stop my every breath

a flood of panic washing over my body and carrying me away

is there any way to kill this storm

because I fear the grass is greener on the other side

and I will sit and wonder what it would be like

where the sun shines so damn bright

on the other side of life

where I am not allowed to venture
