Oblivion - The Lady In Silk

Look at her artwork, so delicate, so fragile,

Yet, it reminds me to tell you of her ghastly life,

What? You thought this artwork was that of brushes and paints?

Grab your popcorn! This story is not for the faint of heart, as I speak!

There she was, a girl, soft as silk, placid as the still river,

Introvert, yes, but her will-power could make the others shiver,

Strong, and confident, a beautiful young lady,

A bold example, that won the hearts of many.

Time ticking by, with every second,

Life unfolds with an endless line of success,

But look beyond her fame and pride,

You see a little girl, struggling to stay alive.

Was she more than a silver spoon in a rusted jar?

Could she conquer the mountains and the stormy seas afar?

Living a life of despair, fear dripping through every inch of her vein,

Will her glory go in vain?

Celebrating this unique actress, a lifetime made in heaven,

Love and depression, come together as two sides of a coin,

Passes and fails, they were worth the shot of her tale,

Taking part in every exam, she could have surpassed her written destiny!

But, jeopardizing all, she chose the rope,

To end it all, not risking taking a hint of hope,

Within the lost time, lies her memory, long gone,

Silk Smitha, the lady in silk, disillusioned in oblivion.
