Walking through the nightmares
I feel dead-alive
Searching for my lost exuberant self
I struggle to survive.
Crying behind a smile
I keep looking for an escape
While everyone’s dancing in dreams
I stay wide awake.
Dark clouds roll across my mind
The sea of tears has dried
Despite trying my best
I keep sinking into quagmire of dilemmas inside.
You were not fair enough
And you stabbed that trenchant knife
I question you today, you have to answer me,
Why me only life?
I know my child, you are struggling
But you’ll rise like a phoenix soon
The days are not far when you’ll proclaim
I’m over the moon.
These low phases are short-lived
Your pain will turn into power
You’ll endure the storm too-
For you’re the strongest flower.
The wounds, I promise, will heal for sure
And time will lower the kindled strife
You are my favorite and will remain so,
Replied life.
