Jenny


Jenny will be going away today.
Guess that's the price she has to pay
For staying too long.
When she doesn't belong.

She learnt the hard way.
You know what they say:
'Diamonds don't glitter when it's dark.'
All that's left on her finger is the ring's mark.

Now she's left without a place.
No place to hide a tearful face.
She stayed hopeful. Hoping-
Even when she saw it coming.

Jenny will be going away today.
To a place far, far away.
Where she'll relive time.
In the sweet escape of her mind.


Tomorrow will come,
And life will be undone.
And all Jenny's left with is to embrace
The Great Disgrace.


She admits that it's too late to admit.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you, "She, Her"


Audience audience! Please, please.
Take a seat, feel at ease.
It's going to be a long show.
So best be at the front row.

The curtains are drawing up.
There she stands, with a small cup.
She smiles like a sweet fool,
And tells you that it's half full.

Her casts are make-believe.
They come, and they leave-
Transposes to her whims,
But vanishes as the spotlight dims.

But the show sometimes has to end.
In lightness, the casts her friend,
In darkness, her cup half-full, disappears,
And instead is filled with her terrified tears.

But the true magic to her genius
Lies in the fact that she is completely oblivious-
To the stage. To the audience.
To the actor that is her very self.


The world's her stage!
Her life- a page
Written over,
No cover.



So she acts her life away... ...

... She knows no other way.
