I have been told by so many that I explain myself so well That my sense of understanding is so great that they are proud to tell me It is good that I can understand so well But what does this do of good for me If I can't ever understand what others want of me I always misjudge the situations And think that something is going good when really I am just stepping on landmines Pretending the flying limbs are flowers floating in the air How can I not see that If I am so good with understanding? I am beginning to doubt if I am ever going to be happy Because all the happiness I ever had was created illusions in my head like a puppet on a string I forced myself to dance joyfully throughout a life; that I did not even enjoy A big smile on my face after everytime I cry A big laugh though my soul mourns with the sounds of trees breaking in the wind A hollow feeling of always walking on a path which carries old imprinted footprints from people whom walked here before me But instead of creating my own I step in theirs; To ignore the fact that my footprints are taking this journey alone when others have been accompanied on theirs
