With the twilight hues of sky
One more day comes to an end
Moments became memory
And memories have faded away
He runs behind his past everyday
Searching for the happiness
He lost on his way
And like everytime 
He returns back empty-handed
He glaces at the mirror on the wall
And sees a broken soul
Dejected and scarred 
The war between his heart and mind
Intensifies the chaos 
And then suddenly
The silence engulfs him
And in a flicker of light
He sees his happy soul
Smiling back at him
And he realises
The door to happiness
Had always been inside him

With unspoken words
I crossed over 
to the dark side
And built a wall around myself
Everyday I woke up
To fight a new battle
But today was different
A knock
Made me realize
Every wall that I built, had a door
Surprisingly, I opened it
And found the magic, I had been looking for 
Searching for the ethereal world
I didn't realise, I carried a universe inside me
A universe
Of dreams and struggles
Of chaos and solace
Of the stories and battle scars
Of scars which have healed and are yet to heal
Seeing the brokenness
I realised our souls are stronger
Than we believe
So I sprinkled some stardust
Spread my wings and flew away
With a newfound strength
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes!
