Black & White: Inner Balance

Can I cajole my memories to flow through the path of happiness?
The waves are too strong and pull me back to the shores of darkness

Every time I try to wake up, sleep mends my thoughts
Have I become too weak to push back this life I mount?

The fear holds me deep in this empty core
and the apprehensions tear me down and galore

I try to find my scattered pieces all around
and the memories feed me with dreadful sounds

Peace and happiness betray me when I feel fine
The truth I want to seek is already destroyed by time

Keeping all the bad omens by my side
I still try to live a perfect life

I need a fresh start and someone to erase my scars
A new heart, as the old one I threw away at a place very far

For all the things that keep me alive
I need to the expel the past that hides

I need a force to save me from these tides
and pull me to the shore where there are both black and white.
