Here's to the girl who always smiles,

To the one with bubbly eyes.

The one who frowns less,

Who accepts only what's best.

She has immense ideas floating in her head,

She reads, she writes, expresses herself.

Seeks fun and happiness,

Being herself, she does best.

I wonder where she went away,

Didn't warn anyone in her way.

Didn't even bid a goodbye to me,

Something had happened indeed.

While trying to find this girl who,

Made winter turn to spring, it's true.

The one who smiled at everyone around,

Made sure people were safe and sound.

A light that lit my heart had dimmed,

I became someone I always feared.

I wasn't the same I used to be,

My eyes became so gloomy.

Became someone who smiled less,

Forgot what it was like to get the best.

Got lost in the insecurities in my head,

Became scared to express myself.

Strived hard to achieve the best,

Without giving myself any credit for it.

Cursed myself for making mistakes,

More than loving my achievements.

That girl who ran away was me before,

Here's to the girl who is torn.
