From Darkness to Light

When dreams turn into nightmares
and relations grow sour,
When no angel's left
to lit up your darkest hour
At dark when dreams return
to mock and incise,
But your closest fail to see
past your sullen eyes,
Where can one look for solace?
lookup to which skies?

When your silence deafens nobody
but your talent they shun
When your smile reaches everybody
yet you they so-shunt,
When hopes begin to fade and
despair looms for a while
But those around you can't feel
your pain masked by the smile
Where does one seek support?
Where's his Lily of the Nile?

When your dreams shatter
and don't let you cope.
It ain't easy to hang onto
one's dream, one's hope.
When you're drowning and
no one throws in a rope
It is too tempting to end
the fight, stop all hope.

But you're a Rajput, one braveheart
Why could not you handle a hurt?
Was it so bad? Was it too dark?

You were Dhoni, 
you played Byomkesh, right?
How can you give in now
without a fight?
Couldn't you hang onto that final rope
and pull thee from darkness to light?
