When...

When smiles become frowns,
When bubbly becomes quiet,
When cheerfulness becomes stonefulness
When optimistic becomes pessimistic,
When liveliness becomes lassitude,
When a pair of bright eyes becomes lifeless,
When tears no longer flow,
When the spirit leaves the soul.
When I see the change in me,
When you see a different me,
When I want back my original self,
And I realise it ain't that easy.
