You are the things that get lost in translation
A thoughtless glance, an absent nod
The utterance of a quiet murmuration
The things that push us to keep moving on
You are a stranger who passes on a smile
Being just a bit more helpful if you can
Even though lately nothing's felt worthwhile
Still gonna try to prove wrong the man
You are made up myths and avoidances
The easy excuses and painless lies
Gentle offering of empty reassurances
Forgotten invitations and late replies
You are the one who tries too hard
Over-thinking and over flowing in chaos
Still holding hope that the world's not all bad
Can't find what you don't know you've lost
You are unfinished and unappealing
The last hoorah before we go home
Careless wisdom and fake opinions
Navigating through hazardous zones.
