Mediocre

Mediocre

by Julierose Capuyan

Fake laugh fake smiles
I tell myself a million lies
This is always me in disguise
Flashing a happy and content eyes

Woke up another day
I’ll live it the same as yesterday
It’s a risk to do it another way
What the future brings? Come what may

Will there ever come a time
When I’ll be able to cross that line
And leave this mediocre life behind?
Win or lose I need to find
Something that will make my soul shine

At night I gaze by my window
I see stars full of glow
I wonder if I’ll ever know
How it feels to be stared with awe

Suddenly the heavens seems so wide
I regret the chances denied
Finally I no longer need to hide
I ache for this new ride

Life’s too short
I don’t want it to pass me by
That other road’s maybe worth a try
Who knows it’s where my future lie
This spirit’s now ready to soar high
