when they drop you down

when you feel low

When they drop you down...

When the people who matter you the most

Leave you hard, numb and cold in the frost

When you know not, whom to follow or lead

For every hand has a stone to bleed

And their lips carry a curve of smile

As they see you weak and fragile

For a moment you remain silent and pause

To analyze the reason and the cause

Yet you could never justify their thoughts

Nor convince, nor surrender and hate being caught

In their trap of sarcastic, unfaithful, foxy face

And still you desire to run the lost race

For crooked is their blood and soul

And you can’t cheat those vultures and owls

When your honest heart is your greatest defeat

Speak not, but sneak within to retreat

Save your head from the sword of time

And let the moments pass its prime

Blame on you puts you through the hardest tests

A blend of courage and patience answers the best

Let them howl, shriek, bark and roar

With silence you will surely rise and soar

For their harsh words are meant to be

The fuel you need to touch the stars, you see!

Forgive them but never for once forget

And when the wheel of time is reset

Dash though the present with the greatest speed

To prove your will, your mettle, your seed

Like a lion chasing a herd of cattle

And like a deer that runs to win the battle

For you will be beyond their reach with your deed

With none to follow and none to lead!
