Lost Souls

Saudia Danih 1993 (Zamboanga Sibugay)



Tick tock tick tock
There are those who are wide awake in the middle of the night

Tick tock tick tock
Those whose thoughts walk through the groves

Tick tock tick tock
The lies beneath the lines of faking smiles

Tick tock tick tock
The night is over...
there is no life—

About this poem

It is about those fighting their own demons who wanted to be found behind their faking smiles is a person who fought a big fight inside their head.
