New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
And so the distance grows to light, to life, to hope
I am falling through the smoke and through the clouds
Was this why I left the dark of my father’s halls?
Always the aching, longing for light and beauty
Always the trappings of shadows and darkness and pain
Did I really dream that I could live in the light?
Madness I learnt and hatred for boldness and beauty
Under the shadows that darkened my father’s lands
Why did I attempt to claim both boldness and light?
And now the distance grows to light, to life, to hope.
I betrayed the light to darkness, chose my path.
How did I dare to dream of light… of her?
