Echoes of My Silence | Tulika Singh

The path you made me lead

I've never dreamt of

For what I think, you are a fragment of mine

that keeps telling me who am I

You are not a nightmare

You are not a bad news

You are just a parasite

absorbing my sunlight

You have destroyed my land

Robbed me off my spirit

My garden of orchids is

like a silent voice

No one can hear it

You are a mirror image of mine

but more vicious and fine

The tighter I hug

Softer you kill

You make me see the world

through a darker lens

You keep me away from myself

Is that what you are best at?

But you should know this

The darker you make me

brighter I glow

The weaker you make

tougher I grow

Freedom burns within me

like a fiery sea

I will make sure to breakthrough the shackles

you made me tackle

A day will come when

I will be thanking you

Cause you made me into the person

I was destined to be
