If life is a song
I’m not good at singing
If love is a dance
I have two-left feet
If people are books
I am illiterate
If happiness is a smile
I have no lips
If sadness is a river
It was me who cried it
If failure is mirror
I am staring back at myself
If everything is a poem
I just realized that it isn’t worth anything
