Finding My Way Back to Happiness

Lost in the rush, just a shadow of me,

Life's a marathon, can't break free.

What happened to me, staring back at the glass,

Eyes void, hollow, as the moments pass.

Mouth stiff with laughter, but it doesn't reach,

Echoes of joy just out of reach.

Looking around, they're all in a race,

Pacing like ghosts in this bustling place.

Hurrying, running, but where do they go?

Chasing the shadows of dreams they don’t know.

Where's the laughter and happiness that I used to know?

The smiles that spread like the sunlight's glow.

I want to slow down, regain the spark,

Stop running in circles, get back my heart.

In the middle of traffic, confusion takes hold,

What am I doing, in this story so cold?

This isn’t who I am; I feel so lost within,

Yearning for the days when the joy would begin.

Now I’m a traveler, just passing through,

Searching for the colors that once felt so true.

Meeting new faces, can’t I just stay?

Swapping smiles freely, like the good old days.

Where's the laughter and happiness that I used to know?

The smiles that spread like the sunlight's glow.

I want to slow down, regain the spark,

Stop running in circles, get back my heart.

There’s still time, I believe that it's true,

The light is still shining, just waiting for you.

Through the life's chaos and shifting sands,

Find your way back, reclaim life's plans.

I’ll breathe in the moment, find joy in the now,

Explore all the beauty, I’ll show myself how.

No more rushing, let the laughter begin,

A journey to happiness, I’m ready to win!
