Once a soul with endless cheer,

Bright and lively, year to year,

Laughter rang through every space,

Joy and light upon their face.

Days were full of vibrant hues,

Every moment brought good news,

Spirits high and dreams so clear,

Happiness was always near.

Now the light has dimmed away,

Shadows mark the light of day,

Smiles once bright have turned to cold,

Heartache fills the void untold.

Echoes of a happy song,

Now just whispers, soft and long,

In the quiet, sadness stays,

The lively soul has lost its ways.

.............................

I just wanna say... life can be hard at times and its okay to not be okay . But, remember there's always a way out !!
