Fake gratitude, fluent lies
Colored existence, feigned feelings
Muted voices, morbid loneliness
Lonesome walks, loquacious serendipity.
A sinister sense of darkness
Envelops me, smothering my hopes
I blankly gaze into the horizon
That looks fiercely naked

Content with my mundane life, I was moving on
Despite growing up ‘midst the snowcapped Himalayas
Without any friends, I...

Those impaling yells and bawls asphyxiate me
My viridian meadows are a thing of past
Buried ‘neath the sky-kissing concrete vast.
My flowing tresses are yanked off ruthlessly
