Hope In The Grey Painter’s Reflection


by speed_e5

--------

     You are truly alone in Neopia, Ozzy!

     You will never again feel like

     You once did when you were young and happy,

     When you hold on to these precious memories like

     It could always stay with you forever,

     Everything can feel like it’ll start to fade away, but

     You can't always find time for everything,

     It's alright,

     You did your very best!

     It just wasn't good enough,

     Don't let anyone tell you that

     You are someone important to them;

     Just the Grey Painter now,

     You’re no longer

     Ozzy,

     They left you behind for so long,

     Deep down, you knew that Nyx hated that

     They would take care of you,

     Your friends and family,

     They seem happier without you,

     Don’t believe for a second that

     You were meant to be happy too,

     Everything can only end up feeling grey,

     You were wrong to assume that

     Neopia is full of colours!

     But even in the despair of your greyed-out heart,

     you still cling to the smallest ray of hope that even if things don’t really change much,

     you might turn things around and someday look at your reflection to say that:

     Neopia is full of colours!

     You were wrong to assume that

     Everything can only end up feeling grey,

     You were meant to be happy too,

     Don’t believe for a second that

     They seem happier without you,

     Your friends and family,

     They would take care of you,

     Deep down, you knew that Nyx hated that

     They left you behind for so long,

     Ozzy,

     You’re no longer

     Just the Grey Painter now,

     You are someone important to them;

     Don't let anyone tell you that

     It just wasn't good enough,

     You did your very best!

     It's alright,

     You can't always find time for everything,

     Everything can feel like it’ll start to fade away, but

     It could always stay with you forever,

     When you hold on to these precious memories like

     You once did when you were young and happy,

     You will never again feel like

     You are truly alone in Neopia, Ozzy!
