Sad Soul

I am a sad soul drifting away

To a place called happiness.

A place where everything seems surreal.

I see the faces of people who knows not

The feeling of sadness,

The feeling of disappointment,

The feeling of pain.

I feel this strange sensation of warmth,

Of pure pleasure

Emanating from each one of them.

I can sense none of their sorrows,

Nor their hidden tears and fears.

I hear their laughter,

A sound so alien to my ears,

A sound so beautiful and so sincere.

I watch in awe and wonder,

Like I was seeing the sun for the first time

In so many years.

I felt a pang of jealousy,

For this strange feeling that I could never feel.

For I am just a sad soul, 

Drifting away to a place unreal.
