She Lost

Once upon a time

A girl sang songs

She used to shine

She continued to sing them

As long as she could

As beautifully as she should

She received standing ovations

She was the heart of every party

She was the soul of every evening so bright

She was the winner of every right competition

People gave her felicitations

But she didn’t know why

She fell in love with a guy

A bright jovial boy

For whom she could even die

He was unaware of this

They both thought their lives to be bliss

He sang songs too

But she also sang

So well, he never knew

Once he heard her singing

He went numb at her voice

To find that she was so good

He thought she was better than him

He praised her as much as he could

As long as he could

He started to underestimate himself

And told the girl she was a better self

She shed a million tears when

He said she was better

She thought what she could do

To change his mind

But he was damn determined

And his qualities, he undermined

She felt some weight too heavy upon her

Her thoughts, every moment, she stirred

Once came a time she thought she could

Made her love believe he’s good

And finally came the time

When fate was in her favor

The boy won

She was happy but in her efforts

To make the boy believe his self

She lost herself!
