DESIDERIUM
I'm broken on the inside
But you see the perfect on the outside
Empty on the inside
Yet cheerful on the outside
Numb on the inside
So full of life on the outside
A soulless and dark mind on the inside
But I still manage to let you see
The shine and sparkle in my eyes
Even though it's a slowly fading shine
I look beautiful but that's just
What you see on the outside
I feel a lot less pretty on the inside
I just might have to go on a quest
To find myself again
Cause I feel lost and like a facade
Of what I used to be
There's this ineffable desiderium
Of who I used to be
And while I'm still longing for better days ahead
I will continue to be a long lost mirage of myself
Untill what was lost is found
Till I find my happy self again
Till I'm cheerful both on the inside and outside.
