I woke up again this morning with that dark cloud
It was hanging over the lids of my eyes just as it did yesterday
Its persistence never ceases to amaze me
As it casts its shadow upon my happiness;
It blurs my vision of life while it keeps contentment at bay
Today, I am swimming in the pool of hopelessness
Insignificance itself is the bathing suit which clothes me
At the reward ceremony of despair
Worthlessness has nominated me as its most worthy of honour
A reward that I would not accept
If I could freeze-frame the happiness of days gone by
If I could feel the stretch of laughter on my lips
If I could retrace the tracks, I made when I skipped about
Hear my tones when I burst into song
If only but a dream, I could hold onto that dream
Forever!
