Shivangi Kumar

Worth it

Music,

Sounds like a wailing

To this sorrowful mind

Through the pain in my eyes

I still shine so bright

Like I am a candle

Lit in the dreary dungeons

Below the ornate manor

I am ray of light

For ones in shackles

Now, how long

How long can I burn?

Slowly melting away

I am far from them

Too far to see

My waning soul

Look Around!

Ask, ask

Is this dying flame

Worth it?

Their cries echo back

From my hollow heart

Look Around!

Ask, ask

Is this empty fame

Worth it?
