Your footsteps
Stroll along the shadowed strip on the pavement at nighttime
Embroidered with streetlights, blanketed with peace
Yet you still walk in the darkness.

Your eyes
Outline your crooks and crannies of your appearance through a mirror
Veiling your golden heart, obscuring your inner warrior
Yet you give yourself a disaffected definition that holds hands with society.

Your body
Traverses forsakenly through a peopled street
Spiced with dalliances, inundated with laughter
Yet you maintain your lonesome frown.

Your happiness
Searches for you to finally
Walk in the light, look past reflections, iron your frown
To embrace you with life beyond your bitter world.

Happiness can only be found within those who disobey the laws of pessimism.
