OtherSide

Xenoa, Guardian of the Strange and Delusional

I look into the mirror,
I watch my world evolve.
It seems to ask a question,
The mystery can't be solved.
I stare at the other side
Where the land is green and lush.....
In the world in which I live
Everyone is in a rush.
My world is black and dim now,
It was us that scorched the sky.
We've been dependant on technology to survive,
And through technology we will die.
I imagine living in the other world,
The one soon to be teeming with life.
It looks like a place without any troubles,
Problems, mishaps, or strifes.
It is the world there used to be,
Before we came along.
But everything we've tried to do
Has always come out wrong.
We don't deserve another chance,
But the least we can do is try.....
So I crossed over, and still I live,
Here, on the other side.
