Roulette

By Chaitra

I wonder if everyone is like me

Stuck in a limbo in between emotions

Like a roulette spinning non-stop

Randomly stopping here and there

Sometimes I wonder if I’m normal

And if everyone is like me, confused

Overthinking every moment

Saving happiness for the future

Time passes by as I keep wondering

Another day goes by

Sometimes I wonder if I’m present

Sometimes I think I’m not

Still stuck in the past, beautiful memories

Haunting and bittersweet

And sometimes I wish time would stop

Like a stardust wishing to ride a comet

But the universe doesn’t care about the dust

So it stays suspended somewhere in a void

And the spinning never stops

Today becomes yesterday, on and on

As I keep wondering
