These lapses of happiness
In a string of reality
Some strange reason
Brings me back to normality
So I begin to see myself
As another part of this
And it seems like every moment is drab
When realization brings no surprises at all
And progress feels like denying
That everything you ever felt was true
Regret is not what one should feel
When standing against oneself
But freedom within your thoughts
To understand what it is to grow out
