I walk alone and they follow me
Shadows of the night, are all I see
I try to run, they keep up the speed
If I am scared, they don't pay heed
For when I stop, they come to me
And whisper in my ear disapprovingly
You let go, they said
Let it all go, they prayed
The guilt that made you insecure
The sorrow that wasn't yours to endure
The doubts that dint let you flourish
The pain that you were forced to nourish
The shame that pulled you down
The games that made you drown
The questions that made you scowl
The expectations that made you foul
Let go off the bonds and the off kin
That feel dry and rough like peeled off skin
The shadows behind me feel so cold
They face me now and urge to behold
The beauty that God instilled in me
The love that I never set free
The cheers that were directed to me
Compliments that came so unexpectedly
The blessings that never had a price
The good things that came as a surprise
The precious moments that I collected
The most important wealth that I neglected
To see I have the power to hurt and heal
And I'm capable to express and conceal
I am a creation made with pride
But yet, always kept Myself aside
So enough now!
The shadows jolted my heart
And proposed my life needed a new start
I closed my eyes,
took a deep breath in
And swallowed the shadows
That settled deep within
I opened my eyes
Saw a new dawn
"I love you" I said to myself
I promise to never leave you
lost and forlorn...
Sapna..
