Roohi

Delusions and Demons

Oh did I wake up again?

From the horrible dream that haunts my fate

Every day I strive, every day a step closer to perfection

But little did I know there was no gratification

To the pursuit of excellence,

To the never dying hunger of success

All I ever wanted was your acknowledgement

However, the void still remains

While I achieve everything, the name, the glorified fame

Its been ages dealing with the demons, trapping me in their embrace

Every state of manic lingering inside my head

Everybody saw me falling from the grace

How I was chained to the delusion of contentment

Surrounded by the pretend of everything was in place

One day everything turned to smoke

When the veil fell down which used to hide the horrors of truth

Every gaze you shed on me tore me a little more

All I ever wished was for you to see my through

Through the sparkles of triumph, through the tears of hurt

That little child was still crying for her broken thoughts
