It's in your nature

Do you ever feel lonely?

When the pastel purple air

presses your lungs through your ribcage

When the rain that is so loud

burns on your bare skin

The world around you

is so soft

so gentle

yet it still makes your heart hard

and your thoughts thick

Are you ever lost?

In the foggy forest

where the morning dew cries for you

and makes your eyes water

even when you are trying so hard to smile

The northern lights won't always lead you home

Sometimes you need to wander in the mountains

and hope for the night to be dark enough

hope for the dawn to swallow you

even for a second

Do you ever just want to scream?

Free all the clouds from your lungs

and let the lightnings hit the ground

again and again and again

until the storm has passed

The beauty you see in the dead flowers

and the whispers you hear from the lake

are your saviour

Sometimes you need to pretend to be alive

to survive through the seasons
