In the shallow waters where I drift and sway,
Lost in the currents, I’m swept away.
Academics, a puzzle with pieces that don’t fit,
Each lecture a whisper, a fleeting bit.

Love feels scripted, a scene on repeat,
A play without passion, where heartbeats retreat.
I watch from the sidelines, a ghost in the frame,
Yearning for meaning, yet feeling the same.

My mind, a tempest, a storm without cease,
In the quiet of night, I long for some peace.
But demons come dancing, with shadows in tow,
Singing their lullabies, a haunting tableau.

Sleepless, I wander through thoughts that confound,
In the depths of my heart, I feel so unbound.
Searching for answers in the dark of the night,
Hoping for clarity, a flicker of light.

Yet in this confusion, I know I must tread,
For even the shallow can lead to the deep.
With each passing moment, I’ll gather my thread,
And weave through the chaos, my soul to keep.

So here I stand, in this fragile embrace,
Learning to navigate this uncertain space.
With courage as my compass, I’ll find my own way,
Through the shadows and doubts, to a brighter day.
