Hazy

Mind is wandering
Thoughts never still
A haze of cloud
Look beyond
The outside vision
See the person
Not the act
It’s all so fake
The whole wide world
No one is truthful
Do you know your friends
Really truly
Hazy
Wondering
Why is it like that
No one is comfortable
No one is themselves
You never know
If you actually know
The soul of your best friend
How do you know
If that’s not an act too
Do you really care
No one cares
The world is fading
Down the drain
No hope or future
Nothing left
Fading away
