Silent Reality \\ Mehak Sankhla

Your music runs fast and free,

Beating through my arteries

The sudden switch to reality,

Takes power and control of me.

As you exile from my ears

And become a reason for my tears,

I open up my mind to the sounds of calamity

As I’m trapped in this mind of mine,

Searching for what I left behind,

You shift me to a world so blind,

To my grief that wants to shine

Don’t blame me for feeling this way,

As my agony leads the ricochet,

And my heart asks yet again

If I can hear your music today.
