In a canopy of shadows, the life inside a soul never fails to peep through, as if a spark, a flicker holding on to that tunnel of hope, that bird of chained gallows. Yet in the shadows, a muffling voice keeps murmuring a tune that holds the chord of a surreal dream. They scream of scars yet each scar shines in the redolence of a fumed melody. And each time the breeze touches by, the setting sun smiles with a sketch of a dawn, a dusk that kisses the symphony of a crimson morn. And there in a sky of shadows lurks a setting dream, in a mirage of a rainbow, a rainbow of scattered stars, all along a setting sun. And when the sun sets, it doesn't even matter.”

“They tell you That the world will love you back If you love yourself enough I am sorry to say It doesn’t really work in that way Know your worth When someone treats you like You are ordinary Know your worth When he fails to appreciate you Know your worth When he tells you that He no longer needs you Know your worth When she cannot love you fully Know your worth They tell you That the world will love you back If you love yourself enough I am sorry to say It doesn’t really work in that way”
