I dont recognize myself anymore

Spread the love

I don’t recognize myself anymore

Am I still the same?

I don’t recognize myself anymore…

I smile on the outside; it is not as bright as before anymore…

Pensiveness incessantly creeps in only to crash like wild waves

I am drawn to the waves, not the smiles

When wild, the crashes turn to ferocious slashes 

The smile fades, the body aches

I feel liberated now; searching for the answer to – how?

 

Am I still the same?

I don’t recognize myself anymore…

I smile for others with pure joy in my heart;

It’s a shame the smile fades when it comes to listening to my own heart;

I try, I try

But it goes to vain

I feel no shame for there’s much to gain

I am not the same anymore, for I am wiser than before…
