I'Ll Rise Again
I looked back to see
Without knowing, what should I see?
I saw the paintings painted in my own blood
I saw myself drowned in the tears of a flood.
I searched for the time if I was in peace
To my dismay, I was never on ease
The first step I took, lead me to the end
My ultimate trust broke with no penny to spend.
I knocked on every closed door
My shriek couldn’t reach out when I roared
I walked on the lonely avenues
I fell every time, abandoned with my own residues.
No redeemers’ hands were there to take me out
Entangled in my labyrinth with no voice to shout
I drowned in that filth for a long time
Now, I deny dying and got up to rise.
I saw my world full with corrupted soul
All excruciated me to fulfill their own goal
The pure and naïve mind is destroyed and poisoned
Free bird caged with the shackle of treachery and treason.
I have cried enough to empty the vessel of my tear
I have two divergent roads laid unconscious and unaware
For ages, I kept myself in a dark cage
Now, I shall choose to move to fill the left blank page.
With every accumulated fortitude, I’ll pave my own way
Open mouths will be there, so let them say what they have to say
No more filthy hands to entertain, that always made me insane
Death will die to see my strength and with a new ray, I’ll rise again.
