I wish I was happy, but it feels so far,  A light out of reach, like a distant star.  Is it too much to ask, to find peace in this race,  When I’m lost in the crowd, seeking my own place? I want to be different, to stand apart,  With dreams that burn fierce in the depths of my heart.  Yet the world spins around, with a ceaseless hum,  And I wonder if my time will ever come. I see myself rising, at the top of it all,  Where the doubts and the whispers no longer call.  But happiness feels like a fleeting embrace—  I chase it, but it slips, like wind in a chase. Still, I dream in the silence, in the calm of the night,  That one day I'll shine in my own perfect light.

A Quiet Dream
I wish I was happy, but it feels so far,  A light out of reach, like a distant star.  Is it too much to ask, to find peace in this race,  When I’m lost in the crowd, seeking my own place? I want to be different, to stand apart,  With dreams that burn fierce in the depths of my heart.  Yet the world spins around, with a ceaseless hum,  And I wonder if my time will ever come. I see myself rising, at the top of it all,  Where the doubts and the whispers no longer call.  But happiness feels like a fleeting embrace—  I chase it, but it slips, like wind in a chase. Still, I dream in the silence, in the calm of the night,  That one day I'll shine in my own perfect light.
