I stand surrounded by mortals
And, yet, never have I felt more lone
Not a smile one has to offer
Why doesn’t anyone care no more?
And then my eyes meet yours
Oh child,
I see the longing in your eyes
For they reflect my own cries
A colourless life seeped in sadness
Burdened by countless failed expectations
I wish to tell you
What I wanted to hear my entire life
“It’s ok to stumble and fall
You aren’t a failure”
I feel your pain, for it’s a part of me
A silent prayer I say for you
