Is It Getting Better?

Roll down the grassy slope
Feel the dust and grime
Leave broken thoughts behind
And get lost in time

The tension of the fall
Swells into your mind
Shattering whatever peace
You were hoping to find

Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
The blinds are drawn, unfettered
To lift emptiness’ curse
Need to find a way out of my mind that changes what’s askew
Break away from the old array
Discover life anew

Trail down the mountain path
Leave the fog behind
Breathing in the sunshine
Open and unconfined

The rhythm of my soul
Sways in double time
Creating sweet melody
Delightfully sublime.

Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
The blinds are drawn, unfettered
To lift emptiness’ curse
Need to find a way out of my mind that changes what’s askew
Break away from the old array
Discover life anew

The starlit night illuminates the desert sands ahead
I lie gazing on my back, no longer feeling dread
The horizon looms before me, showing a road to tomorrow
A calm surrender to the existence I must borrow

Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
Is it getting better, or is it just blank verse?
Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
Is it getting better, or am I trapped in this hearse?
Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?
