Happiness flickers, a match in the wind, A moment of warmth, then it’s gone again. Laughter surrounds me, Yet I stand in the center, unseen by the light.
Smiles like masks, hands that touch air, They talk, they reach, but somehow I’m not there. A ghost in the crowd, a voice out of tune, drowning in noise, yet alone in the room.
Love feels fleeting, it slips like sand I try to grasp too tight, causing it to fade into my hand. I’m everything—then nothing at all I pull you close then push then fall.
My mind’s a storm, a shifting tide, I crave an anchor but cast it too wide every time. I wear a thousand faces, and none of them feel like me, I’m trapped inside this mental maze with no way to break free.
And so I chase what never stays, Sunlight swallowed by endless gray. Happiness whispers, then turns away Just long enough to make me stay.
