The bright city lights are too much to keep up with
Blinding the sky in the desolate night
Drowning out stars, the brightness competing
Overruled, without a fight
I cannot stay afloat in this ocean
The pace is too much, the current too rough
Swimming in the opposite direction
I stand alone
While my peers are happy, dense, and free
I remain locked up in eternity
Misunderstood, I can’t turn the lights down
I’m in the spotlight now
This is not what I asked for
It’s not what I meant
When I said I wanted attention, I only meant from you
Without you with me, I’m drowning again
Caught up, rushed with the current
I wonder where I’m going
Blinded by glory of the heavens above
Lost in the world of the arts and of love
Lacking inside, what’s supposed to complete me
You deny me once again
I beg and I plead, I am on my knees
You walk away
The wind whispers to me, the trees they are waving
Teardrops are falling as I’m washed away
Swallowed by a mountains valley
You stand, and I watch you fade
Wondering if you truly love me
I’m curious as to why you’re here
Let me be free, and let me be happy
I’ll do it myself for I have nothing to fear
Clouds are forming, snow is falling
I am twirling up above
The world is mine, I am fine
I will let myself roam again
Not going to let someone else control me
I am my own, my own is happy
Smiles and laughter, they are what completes me
I walk away
The weather follows me, continues to play
My scenery watches, knowing I’ll return one day
New sights are awaiting my arrival
I leave you waiting for a day that shall never arrive.

- Title: Smiles and Laughter
- Artist: downcast drizzle
- Description: Full title: Smiles and Laughter followed by Tears and by Cries. I don't know exactly know how this formed. All I know is that I was feeling like my boyfriend doesn't care, and that I should move on. I was also thinking about the city and sights I've seen. But, anyway they say that the best poetry is the kind written from the heart right? ^w^
