Day after day,

My tired heart aches,

As I force every smile,

And I hide and I shake.

I live every day,

Like I exist in a dream,

My mind stays detached,

Just as well; or I’d scream.

I live like a zombie,

Or feel all at once,

I can’t even face

The ones that I love.

My body’s not here,

I am but a mist,

I have to think hard,

To feel I exist.

I have a good life,

And things work well,

But my mind screams disaster,

As though it can’t tell.

It makes no sense,

Why heart feels this way,

Why it tells me to run,

When I just want to stay.
