In this contemporary world
She is just a pretty lamppost
standing on the skirt
Of that abandoned Road
which was once trooped
By some familiar strangers...
But her desire to unfurl light
is still immense like a thunder!

When I was a little girl
I dreamt of growing up
I'll be free and have fun
Being fed with sweet illusions
Big people around me
Narrated tales from fairy world
Now that I'm grown enough
All I see is our confusions
How we fool ourselves
With hopes and vision
To accept life for
Its mass delusion.

-

You're the first sunray
On mountain top
You're that gigantic wave
No one can stop

-

With sun
I wake up
To smile
The same
Cause you fell
For my smile
Unaware of the pain

-

A part of me
Died long back
I had a home so pretty
Nothing it lacked
But pretty things
Come with a price tag
Inside was dark
I lost my track
Rest of the world
Was colorful
I was in black
I fell in love with it
An addict in pain
One day I got unleashed
Ran as fast as I can
Little did I know
I left something in it
That I still can't have

-

My head hurts
As I fail
To untangle
The mess I own
I don't know peace
I have tried before
But
I got defeated
In the everlasting
War
Wound and scars
Don't heal but roar
In numbers too big
To ignore

-

As I walk through the forest
Monsters have turned into trees
Once I was trapped here
Now I roam fearlessly
As I walk deeper inside
Trees whisper low and mild
I see a girl fading in mist
My reflection is clear in her eyes
Above the earth and below the skies
She is my story of victory
Over the wild

Our connection is fading
Wish I could do it better

I caught you trading
Yourself after saying no never

You were intoxicating
I don't bargain to stay together

I saw you tried persuading
After ignoring my letter

Now I m tired of waiting
Ain't no flower blooms forever

-

In the ocean
You'll find emotions
Listen to the waves
Crash in Commotion

Our body act
Fake all the facts
To the things I hide
You might react
I mistook you
For the past was bad
Surprised
I'm at the same place
That you are at
