When I look back
I remember a time
Much different from now
A time when I didn't
Have anyone
Just
Temporary connections
Phasing in and out
As the years went by
I never understood
Why it always hurt so much
I still don’t
I don’t think I ever will
Those memories bring
Such unease
And with that unease
Comes the thought
Of losing it all
Returning to nought
The fear of loss
A burden I can't shed
A weight of my own
Design
Even knowing
I'm not alone
Is not enough
To quell this ache
I've been looking
For an answer
And if there is one
Somewhere
I don't know
If I want it
I don't know
If I want it
I don't know
If I want it
Is this the price
I have to pay?
To feel loved
To feel whole
If this is what it means
To be complete
I don't know
If I want it
All I want
Is everyone to be happy
Even if it means
That I can't be
The fear of loss
A burden I can't shed
A weight of my own
Design
I've accepted this as
My reality
Because I don't know
Anything else

A pact was made
It promised peace
In this slice of heaven
But even now
That vow has not yet
Been realised
First twisted
And bent
Then broken
These fields of gold
Have turned to grey
The fruit they once bore
Has turned sour
Sour
Sour
Sour
Sour
The shape of those words
Twisted in two tongues
Deemed as redundant
They took their voice
Rendered powerless
Two became one
Crippled by deceit
Our very own
Cry out
Only to be silenced
Silenced
Silenced
Silenced
Silenced
What use is it
To sell a vision
Of a better tomorrow
If there's no today
And we keep buying
Into that vision
However fictitious
It may be
Playing
Our part
In this make-believe
Manaaki whenua
Manaaki tangata
Haere whakamua
(Care for the land, care for the people, go forward)

Anguish
Despair
Hysteria
Heartbreak
Not here
Not here
Not here
Not here
Not here
Not here
Outrage
Disgust
Tragedy
I sat so helpless
Devoid of all feeling
With idle fingers
Unable to place blame
Or understand
Anything
Overwhelmed and at wit's end
I climbed those steps
Unprepared
No words
Could ever be adequate
And at the top
I just stood there
Motionless and empty handed
With nothing to offer
You didn't have to say a word
But you did
And they were enough
And they were enough
And they were enough
And they were enough
And they were enough
And they were enough
