The Mirage Of Reality

The only passage of light she could see

Through a single large window, old and weary

Trapped alone in a tower all her life,

She waited excitedly to reach and seek the outside world;

Wrapped in a cocoon of hope

Mesmerized by what she could see

through that single solitary window

She kept her heart on her sleeve;

Waited heartily to fly into the seemingly beautiful outside

Oblivious to the true imagery behind

A mere façade of reality completely blinded her;

When the time came, she set out on her new path

Unaware of what lay ahead,

Never having been outside

She roamed like a lost soul

Hoping she would be able to make her way

to the scenic creation, she beheld;

But as time broke her fragile bubble

A mist of sheer desolation held her

Confused about what she saw now,

A Heartless and a vicious world

Only to shut herself in fright;

The single hope ray that once

Shone through her solitude window

Now seemed like a distant mirage,

The once so bright and jovial girl,

Now miffed and timid

Long gone was her ebullient aura,

What did the world make of her?

A soul so bright and hopeful

Her eyes now brimmed with dread,

Wishing the ever so single mirage she had once seen

Would ever be the reality she hoped to be in
