Why are you so complex?
Why does covetousness never snooze?
Why stir emotions into a vortex?
Why inflict this mental bruise?
Must you always be larger than life?
Must you always overshadow?
Must you act like a desperado?
Must nothing in your life be adequate?
You don't see me frown
You don't seem to see, you clown
You don't seem to empathise
You don't seem to realise
Always it happens
Always it's happened
Always I'm sighing
Always I'm silently crying
Overshadow my quiet mind
Overshadow my sadness
Overshadow my gladness
Overshadow any recent find
Everything must jointly entwine
Everything must not be out-rightly mine
Everything must glow!
Everything does not, it's in your shadow
Why? Oh! Why? do I end up feeling like a sideline?
