Buttoning Up Again

Tera Kira

Sitting in a room where the lights have all died

Stroking my cat, with nowhere to hide

Thinking back on a day that passed without a trace

Meaninglessly drifting through time and space

Another page is turned on the calendar on the wall

While I remain the same, feeling rather small

The road ahead is hidden, far from my sight

I just pace back and forth in the middle of the night

Staring at a tomorrow that’s blurry and gray

Taking out the tears that I’d tucked far away

Trying to act as if everything is fine

I force a small smile, crossing the line

Everyone tells me that the path I take

Is the "right road," with no mistake

But I still don't have a single shred of belief

I’m just wandering, searching for relief

Everyone looks so happy with their smiles

But behind the faces they wear across the miles

They pretend as if they have no thoughts in mind

Staring only at their phones, leaving the world behind

Sometimes I feel it while I’m out for a stroll

This "alone" version of me, deep in my soul

Under this vast sky, so wide and so blue

The world starts to darken, losing its hue

Thinking of a tomorrow that’s blurry and gray

Letting the tears flow that I’d tucked far away

Purposely acting as if I’m in despair

I force a crying face into the air

I tell myself my thoughts are right and true

Trying to convince the heart I once knew

But I don't have any certainty in that, you see

I just fall silent, let the silence be

I wonder if the light will ever find its way

Into this long night, to turn it into day

Or maybe I’m just making a mistake in my sight

Misunderstanding that this moment is the night

Truth is, while staring at tomorrow so gray

I was just averting my eyes, looking away

Purposely acting as if I’d hit the ground

Just to feel depressed where I couldn't be found

Even if I buttoned the first button wrong

I can just fix the rest as I go along

Just because I can’t see the road ahead for me

Doesn't mean I’ve stopped, does it? Truly?

So, let’s go

Without losing heart
