smothering your insignificances
while the dreamlike state of aspiration

crumbles
into nonsensical misinterpretations.
where’s your purpose behind your glazed over eyes?
filling with fatigue and shaken memories?
where’s your light?
fill up the skies with your hope
and dance among the star-struck beauties,
tied up in a bow,
thrown in a box and stuck
under a tree.
smiles of loved ones
spread onto us.
where’s your smile?
spread it on the streets
sing your dance
and dance your song.
imagine the purity of a child’s laugh
and suffocate all intruding
misunderstandings as they rain into society.
throw up your umbrella and
light up your face.

you’ve discovered how to live.
