Gedicht over het leven

It got a little blurry

And I tried to squeeze my eyes

I saw bits of things I didn’t want

Happy memories mixed with little lies

I no longer want to think about the past

I’m not the one I was at 14 years old

Not as careless, joyfull

Different, distant, cold

Was it ever me or someone else?

Do I even live this life?

I wake up early, go to bed late

I go to school and skate till five

Every day is the same but different

I’m not sure what I want anymore

Not sure why this world keeps spinning

Not sure where I’m doing all this for

So I close my eyes

Scared of what I’ll see

Don’t want to see things sharper

Scared of what I’ll be

But in the darkness that I’m in

There are little stripes of light

They start small, unimportant

But become more and more bright

Hope, faith and love

Three things that I live for

The things planted in my heart

The things I feel deep in my core

So I slowly open my eyes

And I know the light is still there

I might not always see it

Might think it doesn’t really care

But it guides me wherever I go

It holds me up and keeps on giving

Tells me to be strong, to hold on

Whispers that this life is worth living
