Dragging by each passing day
Doing what I usually do
I smile all my apprehensions away
Deep down inside
I know in myself
There's something amiss
Much like I'm pretending
same as a theater mask
to please everyone else
But myself...


Sadness creeping inside me
My youth,little by little,
Being sapped out of me..
Strength, where are you?
Courage, have you abandoned me?
Love, why have you betrayed me?


I didn't love
for me to hurt myself
I love
because I can...
