The Forgotten Lily

When the colours fade and reality sets in;

The crowds disperse and I am empty within.

The darkness creeps in as daylight meets its demise;

I fantasise about sunshine, while my mind fuels deny.

Chained to the confines of my mind;

A distant memory of once one of a kind.

A voice that fades away into the wilderness;

Meek and faint, unheard among others' busyness.

Forgotten among the hustle of life;

No one even knows if I am alive for another fight.

More and more I fade away;

Each time the sun crosses a day.

In the shadows of the dispersing crowd, I lie sorrowfully;

When the colours fade, the forgotten Lily.
