The sky seems so dark
The moon seems so dim
The rain falls heavy,
On my tattered skin.
My eyes grow gloomy
I’m shy like the sun
I am never warm anymore
My day has just not come.
The sky does not open
The stars do not come out to play
There is no twinkle in my eye
Like lovers who’ve met that day.
One day I thought it was over,
The next I tried to begin,
Life seemed to ignore what I wanted
And I ignored every win.
I gradually woke up,
And decided to be happy,
Not because the world allowed it
But because I wanted to be free.
Free from some idea
That the world owed me
Free from all the pain,
That stopped me from being free.
When I walked outside,
Like any other day,
The sun did not shine,
But the rain came my way,
And even in that dark sky
And in the midst of pouring rain,
I began to smile,
And I never felt the same.
