My laugh is lost as I lament,
And all my smiles dissolve into a sigh,
I seem to have lost the cheerful moment,
And I don’t know the reason why...
Doubts and fears flood my mind,
Reality seems like a miserable lie,
Joy seems afar and hard to find,
And I wish I knew why...
My thoughts turn dark and depressed,
Tears are beyond my control as my eyes silently cry,
Hope is ruthlessly repressed,
And I have no idea why...
I don’t find cheer even in a soulful song,
Mirth, here only an instant ago, has bid goodbye,
For that merry moment my heart does long,
It’s gone, lost, as is the reason why...
I can’t stop smiling, and I am incredibly happy,
That time now seems like a dream gone by,
I can’t find my reason to be,
And I can’t find the reason why...
I’m laughing, my eyes twinkling,
And inexplicably, I feel a void, lonely, torn,
Some may call it nothing more than a mood swing,
But I know that I am lost in the unknown.
