Phoenix

They say it's okay, it happens

They say it's part of life

You have to keep going on

But I say for how long?

Every day I used to wake up with tears in my eyes

The fake promises ringing in my mind

Then a wave of helplessness would cross over me

Making me think, why is this happening only with me?

There was a time when being in a relationship used to be like a dream for me

My naïve heart used to flutter at the thought of it.

Love and he was the only thing I could think about

But I guess the tables have turned now

Because all I can think of now is -

How m I supposed to get out of this?

Mind you, each day used to be a struggle

Dragging myself on was nothing less than trouble

Each day was full of despair for me

Making me think, why is this happening only with me?

Trust me when I say that this is all a mess

And I really feel like getting myself a nice dress

But I know it will again remind me of him

And now I really feel that my chances of recovery are dim.

Now I think m again going to cry my eyes out

And that is the time I look at myself in the mirror

And think -

Why cry for a boy

Who only thinks of his own joy

Why cry for a boy

When his love was only a ploy

Why let yourself die in pity

When you yourself are so pretty

Why give your heart so much pain

When you yourself are the queen of your domain

And that was the time I knew

That life is full of colorful hues

Today it might be black

But everything has a hack

For you, it is to rise

And embrace those skies

And being a bitwise

After all, you have risen from ashes

Just like a beautiful Phoenix.
