The World Went Sideways

The sky went dark, the wind stood still
The silence hit, I felt the chill
The world I knew just fell apart
And something cracked inside my heart

No warning sound
No final bell
Just quiet hearts
And stories shelved

The world went sideways
And I stood tall
I didn’t know how
But I faced it all
I lost my name
I lost my way
But I was human
And I stayed

They said the strong would rise above
But all I saw was those with love
They held the broken, stayed behind
They shared the light that others hide

No hero call
No chosen few
Just souls like mine
And yours, too

The world went sideways
But here I stand
Not made of stone
Beyond their plans
I lost my name
I lost my way
But I was human
And I stayed

You don’t need power to be brave
You only need one soul to save
And when the sky begins to bend
I’ll be with you, until the end

The world went sideways
But we stayed true
No maps, no flags
Just me and you
We lost the frame
We lost the game
But we were human
Just the same
