MY OWN SHADOW

In a long corridor where silence surrounded,

I saw many people, many smiles

I got fascinated by a light so unadulterated,

I wanted to touch that from miles.

I was looking at the hope,

Desperate about that light in order to probe.

Later, I realized something was stopping me

From touching that light from miles.

That's nothing but my own shadow 

I realised the dark shadow was always there,

I tied my hand and the pure light I threw

I was happy with my own shadow!

But when there was all dark

I found no one... 

I was looking at my own shadow,

Then that day I realised 

I was the only one standing there alone...
