I have long since lost Hope,
because my paths are so endlessly long and aimless,
as if sculpted out of my restless spirit
in the long nights of reverie.

Gorgeously graceful the group of three
Great gals emit grin with glee
Exuberant energy encompasses
All the excitement and surpasses

In form of their drapes adored
South Indian bevy with bewitching smile
Thus goes an extra mile

Why
Why are you so far?

Why does pain leave a mental scar?

Why are you there and I am here?

Why am I not impressed when I look in a mirror?

Why all the questions but no answers?

Why couldn't...

One is known for her hemlines
Just so right

Accompanied by no tights
Young ladies with poise
Will always make the right noise
But girls from orphanages
Will marry young, dreaming
Of what their life might become

The God residing in the sky,

But then he is helpless,
Against our cruelty's tall and strong fortress.

Feel appreciated, or
At least
Respected.
