Sanity is what I am losing,
And I don't know the reason why,
People ask me what is happening,
And all I do is just want to lie.

Sleepless nights are what I give the reason for my red eyes,
But the tears that flow in the darkness laugh at me,
People see me happy and warm,
But the dismal always mocks me.

Cherry cheeks and warm eyes,
is what should have been my demeanor,
But the exact opposite is what adorns me,
And with the small bits of my heart,
I have become a gleaner.

Just like anyone else, happiness is what I yearn.
But sadness and pain is something that I myself has inculcated to grow,
The loneliness and guilt make my guts to burn,
And one day, I will learn to depart with the flow.
