Where did it all go?
Where did it all go?
The happiness, the glow.
I'm not the same till now,
In shadows, I wallow.
My spirit's echo, now.
My heart felt hollow,
Why can't I follow?
The way I used to flow..
It's as if I don't know any pain
The thing I want to gain
Was never in my hand
Still, I tried but I failed again, again and again
No one ever saw the rain
But it caused me the pain
Which I can never heal again

Overall, it captures the complex emotions of disappointment, yearning, and the struggle to find meaning in difficult circumstances. It's a poignant and introspective piece that invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of loss and perseverance. more »
