Your Shadow will leave You

Your Shadow will leave You

Autumn has just kissed

The grounds of my home

And am tangled in the curls

That the falling leaves offer

It seems like a live theatre show

Where you are the lead character

And the environment is fabricated for you

Like your smiles are real

Though being shot in a film


I feel I'm smiling

From my heart and soul

Everything is so perfect

That I can totally expect

A storm to hijack

The bundle of happiness

From me..


And it happened

The thing you abandon the most

Arises the earliest

They took me to the time

Sun knocked my door

And the rays didn't

Lit up my house


They burnt my palace

I didn't fall

I shattered

As if those rays

Directly hit the mirror

And it just broke


I saw my face

<

p>In the pieces of that broken mirror

I asked my window

"Why did you let the rays in? "

And the answer was

You can't shine more than the sun

Who ever is extraordinary

To the superior

Has to lead through hell...


My own windows betrayed me!

I asked the curtains

"Why did you let the rays in? "

They said nothing

And held their heads in grief!


You know it is the silence

Of your friends that will kill you

And not the word of your enemies.

But the one who made

Plans for my destruction

And every single speck of that plan

Made me realise my worth

'Cause they all fear my existence.

Am so important that they wanted me dead!


Today I smile again

Cause the one whom they destroyed

Has owned the crown of "Queen of Destruction"
