Daffodil

The universe is expanding,

Searching for someone understanding,

Happiness is all what my soul is demanding,

With each passing day,

It feels as if I am stepping deeper into a void,

I have gotten used to being a soul destroyed,

The universe is expanding and so am I,

The faded earth, the hazy sky,

The everlasting sea dyed deep blue,

Nobody knows what I am going through,

It’s not easy to be in someone else’s shoe,

Pouring myself out and crying for a while,

 Then wipe those tears off and put on a fake smile,

Cause nobody cares and nobody will,

A book of mine should blossom still,

Shining bright like a daffodil
