Thoughts lost in a haze,
Trying to find my way out,
Wandering through a maze,
Filled with uncertainty and doubt.

Like an eagle losing its wing,
A puzzle that could never be solved.
Trying to fly, unable to sing,
A fate unknown, unresolved.

Laughter echoes through the room,
“Where do I belong ?” I wondered.
Dancing with strangers yet filled with gloom,
Never have I felt so unseen and outnumbered.
