The Way For Me

By Saachi Raja

This night is beautiful, but sad for me

This night is beautiful, but bleak for me

From the window beneath I see

Jolly celebrations beyond

The dancing, singing, happy faces

Illuminated by cheerful glow.

The happiness and light blinds me

The happiness and light lures me

Why can’t I just go there?

The sweet sound of the violin

Drifts up to me

Flies up to me, I can’t reach it.

Isn’t this Eve supposed to be beautiful?

Isn’t this Eve supposed to be magical?

But I can’t reach these feelings

Blocked by a barrier I can’t see

No matter how hard I try

I just cannot break through it.

The stars shine like Christmas lights

The stars above take pity on me
