The StartA Poem by LanaThe ghost of our lives Sometimes comes back It suffocates you until you die The drifting clouds Always covered the sky In a grey tint of sadness But only weakness Brought the sun to hopelessness As happiness never ceased to decrease Only palm trees could ever reach me It was a prison painted in black Part of a generational story full of crack In the 30's there was just darkness As light could only be seen by the ones went on strike Despite the fact that time was running out We painted the prison grey Hoping that the light of day Could bring out some medicine for the depressed The ghost brought me back to life By striking my life to get back to black Like a hitman on its way to its target It left me with regret The regret that the best time of my life Was behind a curtain where time resides But it is okay I still have my watch I wear it now everytime I get down This is the time of my life That I will call The Start
