When I was happy

There once was a time where I would dance
I would dance for the invisible audience.
That always clapped
Even when I fell on the invisible stage
One day my audience never showed
And the stage wasn’t there.
So I didn’t dance

There once was a time when I would sing
My off key voice sounded like a lullaby
To the air I sang to.
But the lullaby was broken
By my pain
And all that came out of my mouth were cries

There once was a time when I was happy.
I would sing and dance.
In front of the invisible audience.
But they failed to come to the show.
So I failed to perform.
