22.5.08

in the silence of the night,
i am eager to hear a voice,
the voice of my inner plight,
why is it not able to make a noise?

i seldom give myself a chance,
to make peace with my soul,
i just give it an inadverdent glance,
and wander away from my goal,

but was it that i seek,
beacause i just beat around the bush,
my fortune seems a little bleak,
very badly needing a forward push,

every thought seems so shallow,
each emotion so fake,
failure after failure to swallow,
putting my life at stake,

no more can i take the pain,
no more the thought of losing it all,
no more can i let everything go in vain,
it's high time for me to make a call,

to stand up,
and tell myself,
no to give up,
and believe in self,

it's i who made it here,
it's me who will go burning down,
it's me who has nothing to fear,
it's me who will have to frown,

i see all of it going away,
the radiance changing to dim skies,
no one looks like is here to stay,
the world is full of lies,

the friends i thought i had,
the people i was counting on,
are the ones making me sad,
it's like life's singing the wrong song,

i no more expect much out of anyone,
i don't do much myself,
i think my golden days are gone,
and i have become an elf,

no more able to reach,
evrything seems so far away,
it's something time had to preach,
taking away all the gay,

but i will bounce back,
at least i wish to do so,
and once again i'll be on the track,
and that day everyone will know,

that i can do it,
alone, if i may have to,
their eyes may not be lit,
but they'll surely get to know...


LOVE ONE LOVE ALL
