Nothing Lost, Nothing Gained
I’m wide awake thinking of all that I have lost
The things that I have gained, but mostly the things that I have lost
How everything’s so different, but everything’s still the same
How I got to where I am now from all the places I came
Why everything changed I’ll never understand
Why people changed I’ll never understand
Why everything can’t be like it was
When issues were issues but they always passed
Now issues become problems that always seem to last
They make everything different, for better or for worse
Changing things even if it makes other people hurt
The pain everyone feels seems to never go away
The hurt and confusion has come to stay
Now we’re left to deal with mistakes people have made
Mistakes people thought would just go away
Instead these mistakes grew over time
Waiting for the right moment to knock us down
Waiting for the right moment to turn us around
Putting us in positions that only make it worse
Simultaneously creating a curse
One that will last for the rest of our lives
Affecting everyone that comes into the picture
Digging the hole deeper, and deeper still
Making it so bad people threaten to kill
Mistakes and changes growing bigger yet
Taunting us from afar until we have nothing left
What are we to do when we can’t do anything
When we’re stuck in a cycle that is never ending
Hope is lost and fear is gained
Fear of the unexpected and fear of the insane
Causing everyone to go inane
Creating situations where problems can’t occur
Everyone’s lives slowly falling apart
How long we will last is up to us
How long can we last?
How long will we last before somebody does something drastic
Causing more changes to repeat the never ending cycle
Hope is pointless if everything repeats
How to stop it spinning is what we need to do
Frozen in time forever still
No progress made
But no loss gained
No happiness, no joy
But no confusion, no pain
Nothing lost, nothing gained
I did not write this, but I really enjoy it.
