Summer's Labyrinth

Sing me a lullaby

Cerulean whispers from the summer skies sing me a lullaby,

I tuck myself in,

Miss the sunrise in the morning,

Maybe today won’t feel like such a labyrinth

\\\

Maybe I’m just a wishful thinker

\\\

I reminisce on old photos of me,

My thoughts cascade into my palms,

The longing for a time of peace,

Even for a moment,

Sizzles behind my eyelids

\\\

What is this paradox that I’ve trapped myself in?

The melancholy whimpers from disconnection,

The cheerful murmur of canceled plans,

The cry of loneliness underneath the moon,

The self-alienation illuminated by noon’s sun?
