Rose-Tinted Vision
And in the beginning, I remember how your hand,
Had reached out to help me,

I'm cursed.
I'm cursed.
Imprisoned inside my own head.

Crushing and punishing the soft clay.
My desperate screams mimicked and echoed;
By winds that wrap me up,
Trap me in this silent storm,
I'll squint through the shadows,
Search for the sun they all bathe in.
