Youth

By Manpreet Kaur

In these lights,

We stay colourblind..

We play these records on repeat,

And we feel alive in the night!

We overthink,

But don’t think too much

We keep playing our cards

In this stupid game called Life!

We wanna live a lie

Even if it kills us inside

Outside, it’s bright as diamonds,

Too bright to see what’s inside

Darkness falls upon us

All we seek is love

Can’t learn to move on

And too damaged to carry on

My youth is

Scattered into pieces

Trying to fix

But it is way too broken

Hide and seek

We’re hiding what we’re seeking

We’re playing with fire

While we’re burning

We’re hurting

But we can’t ask for help

We hope but know

Nobody’s gonna understand

Hide and seek

We’re hiding what we’re seeking

We’re playing with fire

While we’re burning
