Lights
are meant to shine
Darkness,
a villain to illumination
Shadows
act as shields to identities,
Fear,
a neighbor to the blind
We
crave strength in the toughest moments
Greatness
and resilience lay in some
of
our iconic monuments
All
we possess is scripts about taming
both
fear and torments
We
dance to music played without
any
instruments
Our
cognition fathers our epic memories
The
only path of reliving these moments
exposes
us to the villain of illumination
A
river full of tears is what hinders this opportunity
Uncertainties
about befriending trust
deepens
the pain inflicted on us by our past
They
say Joy comes in the morning,
but
we only see joy through the sights of Owls
Metaphors
failed to describe what
the
heart desired to spill
We
are slaves on this journey they call Life
A
journey where,
road
signs are mirages
Yes!
We
are slaves trying to escape from
our
masters through this tunnel
Our
hearts are overflowing with fear
But
all we know is,
Going
back is not an option
The
Light of day is all we hope for
The closer we get
the
more we are exposed to the uncertainties
of
a brighter world!
