Darker grey

....
Enjoy it whilst it lasts
You will never believe the end
Twisting the fabric of life
Sending you round the bend

Warped perceptions of days
Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts
But time repeats it's self
So prepare to live the pasts

Dark clouds on your parade
Rain on your birthday
Expect your greatest fears
Turning your life a darker grey

You can't turn and run
It will catch you in the end
It's starts to hurt the most
When you think your on the mend

Destroys your insides
But be brave face to face
Crushing you slowly
Creating a heart shaped space

Dark clouds on your parade
Rain on your birthday
Expect your greatest fears
Turning your life a darker grey

Run as hard as you can
Or stay off the radar
It will find you in the end
It never let's you stray to far

Leave behind all memories
They fade within time
This is a uphill struggle
Which you can't seem to climb

Dark clouds on your parade
Rain on your birthday
Expect your greatest fears
Turning your life a darker grey

Doesn't matter if your a sinner
Doesn't matter if your a saint
Hide behind your fake smiles
Use them as your face paint

Good luck my friend
Never let them see you cry
Just hold your head up
And force out a sincere goodbye

I usually only comment on songs and poems that i think are really good so in saying that I really like this it almost reminds me of something I would write. The idea of living in between the dark and light instead of being the "sinner" or the "saint" be something in between maybe even change according to the situation. There is a lot to this song very deep I'm sure a plethora of things could be taken from this. Great job!

I like this a lot!Thanks to John for bringing to my attention.did you mean to say "bed" in the first stanza or "bend"?just asking!

My brain read "bend" because that's the word I was anticipating.TP,this is so good,how I overlooked it when first posted is beyond me.I have been busier than usual,but I always try to acknowledge my fellow writers on this site.I appreciate the support I get,I know you do too!
