The Quite Sea


As I watch the birds fly

I start to wonder why? 

Memories run in my mind

As I hear the lonliness that runs in my heart

I tell myself to get over it

But something new comes in my life and makes me lose it 

I am the light of my future

But do I really shine in my thought? 

You may say I'm happy 

But do you really see me crying?

Yes I'm smiling 

But do I really feel it? 

As I stand with my many friends 

I see the wind calling me to accompany my soul 

I stay quite and smile 

But on the inside I am dying
