Letting my smile reply

I look outside my window and stare Is it me that feels so unaware? My head spins lightly moving the pieces I move them around make masterpieces The world outside glooms so unkind I want to grieve but it holds my mind I shouldn’t be so dramatic But I can’t help to admire the cinema-tics I color and color until the paper is brown I climb and climb and don’t look down The world goes around as I watch The puzzle fits but there’s one wrong notch I push them together ignoring what’s wrong Try to make them fit but they don’t belong Sometimes things move too fast I run and run but the past is the past It comes like a train howling my name Crushing the tracks without shame Then I blink it all disappears The storms in the background but right here it’s clear So I stay in the path that I know Watching the flowers grow and grow Far from all I’ve left behind Even if sometimes it crashes inside I let it go and watch it fly Watching the madness go on by Letting my smile reply
