In the heart of my dream place,
where I'd always yearned to be,
there's an inexplicable melancholy
that wraps around me like a heavy shroud.
It's curious, you see,
how one can stand in the very midst of their dreams
and still feel so profoundly distant from happiness.
It's as though my emotions have been muted,
rendered numb
by the overwhelming weight of this place.
The vibrant colors of my aspirations seem dulled,
the laughter I'd imagined echoes
only faintly in the recesses of my mind.
Here, amidst the fulfillment of my desires,
a shadow lingers—
a persistent ache that refuses to be dispelled.
I thought I'd soar in this dreamland,
but instead, I find myself
tethered to the ground,
my spirit heavy with an unexplained sorrow.
