#*I’m not sure if I can make it till the finish line In so many years, I’m trying to be honest for the first time When the sky turns dark, and the lights go off I run with my demons –away from people, away from love Its a ceaseless cycle —of needing to be seen but hiding Underneath the cold blanket of meaningless conversations It is not something I am proud of -believe me when I say this I used to be the girl fantasising my first dance, my first kiss But now I see how I’ve turned out to be so cold and grey Because life is funny that way One day you’re fearless and bright, almost reaching the sky And the next you’re locked in your room, because nothing now makes you smile*#

Life is Funny That Way
