yoj ot edo ode to joy

light that drifts in through the murky window
creates puddles on
a shattered heart from carefully pieced together words
all her joy is lost
strong, bitter alcohal puts her into drunken stupors that bring her into imaginary worlds
as she remembers the man that did this to her
there aren't any pretty unicorns or sparkling rainbows in these worlds
no heavenly cherubs singing happy songs
there isn't any hope
as she wanders into a dark world
mislead, broken, alone
she can't fly with torn wings bound with heavy steel chains
foolish people tell her
that depression is the only way through
and that when you're falling with the air rushing past you, the only way to go is to keep on going down
just keep reliving the past so there is no future
but just take a good look into the unshattered mirror of strength
the past is the past, there's always the future
when you're in a deep hole, the only way to go is to climb up and over the rough ground
and that happiness and love can guide you through
is what wise people told her
she can fly with imperfect, glued-together wings bound with light aluminum chains
knowing her path, fixed, supported
as she marches away from a dark world
there is hope
with earthly people singing off-key, bittersweet songs
in this real world there are only ugly unicorns and lackluster rainbows
as she forgets the man that she did this to
real worlds shake her from a weak, sweet drunken stupor
and she finds her joy again
a stitched together heart from shattered words
evaporating puddles from
light that murks in through the drifting window
