Blues in the Sky

Aditi Jasrotia

Fate's cruel mockery
 They look so pretty,
 But, they will fall eventually
 The life inside, feels a little dead to me
 But i am not doing this intentionally
 Oh hey! See the other end perceptually
 These waves they never really get to me
 Yet here i am drowning constantly 
 
 Never ending, always in a loop
 The song is fading 
 Amidst all this emotional abuse
 Like an unfinished painting
 I am loosing my groove
 This song is fading 
 No time left, what do you even want to prove? 
 
 Emotions are withdrawn 
 How to have faith when hope was all i had
 And now its gone 
 So What is in this loop afterall?
 A never-ending and a tiresome fall 
 
 Tears don't roll 
 Breathes getting choked 
 You laugh at your pain like it was all a joke 
 
 Forgetfulness;
 Oh! look the patterns repeating 
 Doubting yourself;
 You think no one's listening 
 
Its you, it is all you
 The voice and that meloncholic tune
 Mind in you can always see 
 Your heart just plays a different beat
 So get up, lift your two damm feets 
 and walk through all those lonely defeats
 There is no criteria that you have to meet
 Just be you and i'll be me 
 Together lets see if we can change this hierarchy.
