Faira - Age Old Mourning

I got up this morning
With more than hope in my chest
No more age old mourning
I won’t forget it
But I see through it now

I’ve always been miserable enough to write
I’ve been I love with hopelessness half of my life

I took its’ hand when I was fourteen
And didn’t let go off

My heart grew smaller, weaker with each year
I saw a grey horizon
A dried out land coming near

Lovingly I placed my head on the ground
Stared towards the nothing I had found
Mistook it for comfort cause it didn’t dare me,
because it didn’t scare me
I fixed my gaze

And I’m learning so much now from the trees
From the pain in my back, from the warm spring breeze
And what might feel like
loosing the part of yourself
you chose to be your form

But what makes you?
Who are you?
