No Smiling

These tears, running down my face
have no meaning now
My mouth speaks only sadness
and rarely smiles
Like my story, I'm feeling older
and I haven't seen enough rainbows
So tired of wandering, I need to rest
A shoulder to cry on
some shelter from the rain
Looking up, I realize
that just as the moon is in the sky tonight
I will return on my journey towards happiness
