Broken Dichotomy

In heavy clouds where shadows softly fade, 

I’m both the whisper and the scream inside. 

In empty spaces where my hopes have strayed, 

Cyclamens bloom, hiding tears that I’ve cried. 

In empty spaces where my hopes have strayed,

I’m both too nice and cutting like the rain.

Cyclamens bloom, hiding tears that I’ve cried, 

A walking dichotomy, lost in the pain. 

I’m both too nice and cutting like the rain, 

A Disastrously Unaware Chemist in grey. 

A walking dichotomy, lost in the pain, 

Wondering if I’m just wasting away. 

A Disastrously Unaware Chemist in grey, 

Second-guessing every choice that I make. 

Wondering if I’m just wasting away, 

If I’m worthless, or if it’s all just a mistake. 

Second-guessing every choice that I make, 

Yet in the rain, I find strength to embrace— 

If I’m worthless, or if it’s all just a mistake, 

I will rise through the shadows; I’ll find my place.
